We tried so hard to do what he needed to do to not lose that right foot; he lost the right big toe in January 2016, just months after losing left foot and we prayed & hoped he wouldn't end up losing right foot, but this March he did. But we forge ahead trying to keep him going. Here is the diabetic blog we follow: https://thelowcarbdiabetic.blogspot.com/ Lots of great recipes, etc. <br />Dawn Pinnataro Albany, Georgia USAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-12235391663064827402018-04-20T23:02:46.228+12:002018-04-20T23:02:46.228+12:00Thank You Samyson!

You asked about lunch - I always make an extra, smaller serve of dinner and heat that for my breakfast/lunch. So easy and tasty and low carb. Figure out more vegetables you like - I love reheated cauliflower cheese for lunch or home made soup. Once you get reading and learning there really are loads of foods to eat, it's just a matter of breaking old patterns.Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06856015651957578791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-10180294607716177262018-04-20T21:44:50.533+12:002018-04-20T21:44:50.533+12:00Remember you are not counting calories any more.

N...I think you need to stop pushing carbs on Chris. Not everybody can tolerate them. People who are prone to diabetes in particular do not process carbs well, even the so-called 'good' carbs, which means grains. There are plenty of sources of vegetable fibre and low sugar fruit i.e. berries that address the positives of fibre in the diet without risking grains. All carbohydrates break down into sugar once they hit the stomach/bloodstream. All of them. So if you're carb sensitive, the first thing you need to do is eliminate all heavy duty carbs and stick to fibrous veggies with a low/zero starch count. Once a diabetic/pre-diabetic body has regained its health and balance it's possible to reintroduce grains etc, slowly, while monitoring the body's glucose response. But in the healing phase, which is what Chris is facing, the less stress placed on the damaged body, the better. As for dieticians, they're not all good. Some dispense dangerous advice to diabetics i.e. fill up on grains. -- Karen in Sydney. (Chris, condolences on your loss. No words can make this better. I'm sorry you've lost your friend.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-66559714429644890542018-04-20T20:01:56.309+12:002018-04-20T20:01:56.309+12:00Thanks so much Marlene!Thanks so much Marlene!Chris Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03599144462630400401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-10419559379960087902018-04-20T19:48:04.733+12:002018-04-20T19:48:04.733+12:00I had my yearly blood test results today and my gl...I had my yearly blood test results today and my glucose level is on the higher side of normal above what it should be for fasting, just over the range...not good..I will be cutting down on refined carbs too..no yummies for me either...lol<br /><br />PetaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-74306399784509957102018-04-20T19:43:08.612+12:002018-04-20T19:43:08.612+12:00Posted your books yesterday.

I know that lower carb diet is recommended but I also know that you are able to eat some carbs particularly those high in. Fibre and grains. It’s all very well to say don’t eat carbs but be kind to yourself find out exactly what you have is right for you. I really recommend you do see a dietician and follow a plan to suit you. Look up recipes for diabetics I am certain you will get great ideas, I know that if you do eat carbs having low glycemic foods with it is recommended. That’s another thing look up the glycemic index of foods and follow that. There are more options than just cutting out the things you like altogether.
