Diabetes Type 2 Support Group
Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...
I was recently diagnosed with Diabetes and was put on Metformin 2xs a day.
He told me to follow the diabetic diet, but didn't provide one. I've been online and the concensus,... there is no diet. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
Nobody will argue with this: go for high fiber, low fat. The grains you eat should be as whole as possible.
From this point on it gets controversial, and your mileage may vary so all you can do is experiment to see what works for your system. I am working my way towards being 100% on the plan laid out in "Dr. Neal Barnard's Program For Reversing Dibates." Lots of fruits and veggies, preferably raw, modest amounts of whole grains and zero animal products of any kind. I am using meat as a condiment only and 100% vegan most days already. Works GREAT. I would die in misery on the Atkins diet that a lot of people here follow.
I am going to go to a class shortly and hopefully will get some more advice or learn what is right and wrong.
