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...

Sorry I've been gone so long I had problems with my account. So I made a new one. Just add me.

I would like to know your view or experience with rice cakes and how they affect you or how you eat them..

BFF Tiera, Welcome Back. I have not yet tried rice cakes but was thinking about investigating adding that to my diet if the numbers (ingredients) seemed ok for my Type 2 life. Had not checked the contents of any or any particular brands though. Great timing on the topic. I will wait for responses. Again, welcome back.

Hello Tiera
I eat whole grain rice cakes by Quaker, i sometimes have one with tuna or peanut butter as a snack and my bs stays within a good range.

Thanks Grannie-

I am learning the only foods that are okay seem to be whole foods and nothing processed. There is so much false advertising out there. Again, thank you for suggesting this link.

Thanks for your responses. I started eating them because I used to like them and they are better than eating chips and cake which i love!
