Diabetes

It covers drinks in the Fluids section! I’ve copied and pasted it below. I mostly drink boiled water, but I have to have my morning tea and after dinner coffee

“Aim for 3 litres (zero calorie) fluids per day. There is an allowance of 200 mls semi-skimmed milk for teas/coffees, or as a drink. If you prefer not to use milk, have a 150-175g pot of low fat yoghurt instead. The remaining 2.8 litres as water, teas, herbal infusions, coffee. Try to avoid sweetened ‘diet’ drinks.
Tip: Flavour water (including sparkling water) with lemon, cucumber, or orange and keep a jug in the fridge to keep nice and cold.”

That's a great food plan Blossoming. It doesn't mention hot drinks, do you have black tea or coffee?

This is the diet NHS Scotland has used, devised by Glasgow University. I’m following a modified version and doing OK.

My ex son-in-law reversed his Type 2 inadvertently by his car needing to go into the garage for extensive repairs..... hence he walked everywhere for 2 weeks, lost over a stone in weight, and it gave him a head start to better health.

As shysal says, Michael Moseley has a number of books and diet plans and reversed his own Type 2 Diabetes.

That was the diet shysal, I should have included the link, thanks. My friend's diabetes has now been reversed for over three years, thanks to this eating plan.

Michel Mosely has documented several forms of 800 calorie eating programmes, all intended to reverse pre-diabetes. His books are for sale on line. It is surprising how much filling food can be prepared for so few calories.

Sorry phone has its own mind meant to say that his glucose levels had gone up a bit. But even then he was not full blown diabetic. He was pre diabetic but the doctor pushed it for him to go on the tablets. It would be a good idea to have blood pressure checked.

My husband tried but all he did was lose so much weight he looked really awful and was miserable. He now takes tablets. His blood sugar is controlled and he’s well and happy.

NHS have diet on line for diabetes my husband followed it for eight years. Before being told He was then put on two tablets only because the blood sugar levels had gone up a bit

1500, maybe, for a short time.

that sounds too low, how can that be healthy, to aim to eat only 800 cals a day ?

I've made an appointment. It's for later this month. I might try that 800 cals

My friend was able to by following an 800 calorie per day diet, now eats very sensibly. Do go to the optician and get the blurring checked out.
