Hate to disagree Lushy..but every time I put a piece of fruit in my mouth and swallow my stupid blood sugars sky rocket. 4 oz of orange juice is a spike to 289, an apple...200. . The best I can do is have a slice or two of an apple and cover with insulin. Anyone who has watched me eat quickly realizes that at max I eat 1200 calories a day over a period of 12 hours in very small amounts. The average small apple is 110 calories, and 17 g of carbohydrates, 13 of which are from sugar with only 3g of fiber. Forget about grapes, bananas, strawberries, figs, dates, blackberries, raspberries and other yummies. I actually get less calories and sugar from a teaspoon of apple jelly..10 g of carbohydrate and with the natural fruit by polaner and others a better deal.
YHMA..plain yogurt has 18 g of carbohydrates, 17 from sugar per serving. A sqaure of Gheridelli creamy milk chocolate or dark chocolate bar is 6 grams, a full serving of 4 pieces is 26 with 2 g of fiber. Take the carbohydrate total and subtract the fiber to know what you are really getting. The ADA has revised their reccomendations for the diabetic diet. You can find information about carbohydrates and diabetes here : http://www.diabetes.org/food-nutrition-lifestyle/nutrition/meal-planning/carbs-and-diabetes.jsp and a food advisor here: http://www.diabetes.org/food-nutrition-lifestyle/nutrition/my-food-advisor.jsp . Exercise will help even if it is walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace.
The best advice I can give is..walk away from the junk food, up your proteins and lower your carbs and roughage (salads and greens). Check for Dreamfields Pasta at your local market ( low glycemic but YUMMIE) and eat SMALL meals several times a day. If you drop in at Mcdonalds often step away from the Big Mac meal and order the Kids meal with Chicken McNuggets..as an example, then ditch the sauce. Oh and something I have found important as a diabetic..read the serving size information. Things that look like they are a single serving, often are NOT. Example..frozen lasagna individual serving size package, if you read the package often 1/2 of that package is a serving, so if you are going to eat the whole thing, double the carbs.

I was referring to someone overweight and prediabetic and looking at type 2 diabetes. Usually a calorie reduction and a whole food high fiber dier is the ticket. Stepping away from junk and counting calories. Warden lowered his blood sugar by 30 points by reducing carbs to a minimum except for the creatine mix after a workout and fiber tablets. He didi it in one month.
i would never disagree with you ma'am . *wink
But soneone in a situation like her needs food retraining and a lose of 50 or so would eliminate the diabetic condition. Type 2 diabetis= It us a completely different thing than insilun dependent diabetes that has the symptoms of freqent urination and weight loss before diagnosis and treatment. It also leads to blindness and loss of limbs from lack of circulation and gout.
