This is not a medical site. I am a grandmother diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the spring of 2007. My mother and two of my grandparents had been diabetics so I was not surprised when I was diagnosed. What did surprise me, however, was my visit with a nutritionist. I went home and tried to follow her advice. My blood sugar did not begin to come under control. After throwing her advice to the wind and relying on the information I had researched for my mother years ago, my common sense, and the advice from several on-line medical sites, my blood sugar is now under control averaging in the low 90s. When I was diagnosed my blood sugar was almost 500! I want to share my experience with others and let diabetics know they can still ENJOY GOOD FOOD including SUGAR in most cases. WARNING: DO NOT DROP YOUR DOCTOR'S OR NUTRITIONIST'S ADVICE WITHOUT CONSULTING THEM AND MAKE CHANGES GRADUALLY! I AM NEITHER A DOCTOR NOR NUTRIONIST. I just want to share with you what I have learned that has been beneficial to me. Hopefully, it will be of help to you in some way as together we wade through the muddy waters of diabetes.
