"i have been told am high risk of getting diabetes type2.although i know i will have to be careful with carbs and sugar. Anymore advice on this matter would be helpful.thanks" Get out walking, walk a neighbours dog!! Do some aerobics maybe or Zumba, whatever you want that'll give you the exercise you need!! And you know the aul saying, if you don't buy something, ie. Sweets, chocolate, crisps etc, you won't eat them!! Avoid processed foods like frozen pizzas, Bolognese sauces, sweet & sour sauces.... !!?? Eat less take away, treat yourself every now and then but not weekly!! Drink plenty of water!! Check foods for sugar content and get an alternative thing that have less sugar!! Apples and berries are lower in sugar than oranges and peaches!! | |||

"Basically don't eat vegetables that grow under ground" Since when are these considered a threat by scientists ? There are groups of people in Asia who don't eat them because they consider these vegetables a life like organism similar to animals. This is simply a belief though. Fruit, vegetables, seeds and nuts are good. Eat as much as you can. | |||

Do NOT ever just eat tonnes of fruit and veg. Your science knowledge needs updating. C | |||

"So pre-diabetic then? Keto is a great tool for prevention. Labour MP (ex?) Tom Watson got rid of his type 2 from bein in Keto and he lost a ton of weight with it. C" You dont "get rid" of type 2, you just put it into remission, if you go back to your old eating habits your blood sugar level will shoot back up. I lost 4 stone in 4 months, had to start re-introducing some "healthier" carbs as I went too far the other way and struggled in my job due to not getting enough energy in the food. | |||

Veg can be bad, especially potatoes, research to find the veg with the lower carb/starch content. Seeds and nuts are good, so long as you stay away from the common seeds used to make flour like wheat, oats etc. | |||

Good luck. | |||

Not incorrect.
Strachy food, bread, pasta , potatoes...it's a common knowledge to limit when diabetic.
Unless one is a junk food eater, unlikely they'll be eating potatoes with buckets. Obviously we are talking about a balanced diet with variety of food. No chance that one would be overeating anything then.
No normal person eats only potatoes . Or only berries. Or only bananas. And expects to be in good health.
Generally vegetarian food is better than meat , but again,it depends what you actually eat and HOW you prepare the food. No good in deep frying veggies and thinking you are doing well.
Fresh uncooked vegetables and fruit should be about half your food intake.
Ultimately, you have to listen to your body. Different bodies, different reaction to the same kind of food. Don't force yourself unreasonably solely because certain food is supposed to be healthy for you if , by the signs of it, causes you discomfort.
I don't think we are in disagreement. Only how we express in our comments here, if we decide to be pedantic .
Wish you well!
More so to OP  | |||

"I found out I’d got diabetes at age 17. People try to tell you stop this stop that but don’t do it all at once and don’t be afraid to treat yourself every now and again. Most of the foods that are nice are the ones you should cut out." People who get diabetes at a young age are most often insulin dependent. | |||

"I've got type 2 diabetes, choose carbs wisely, rolled oats are good quinoa, bulgar wheat, pulses, legumes ect, try and eat lots of lean protein and healthy fats, olive oil, avocados ect, split these into protein 60% fat 20% carbs from healthy source 20% that will keep bloods stable. Drink water it flushes sugars out your blood. " Indeed . Very good! You've found out what works for you. | |||

"i have been told am high risk of getting diabetes type2.although i know i will have to be careful with carbs and sugar. Anymore advice on this matter would be helpful.thanks" Ive reversed it. Cut out potato, rice, bread, pasta anything starchy basically. Bin snacks like crisps and sweets. Fruit, eat berries. Lots of nuts. If you eat meat fill your boots with fresh stuff but no processed garbage. Steer clear of ready meals and mass processed food. Don’t eat low fat. Full fat all the way and get yourself on an exercise plan. Doesn’t have to be masses. I do calisthenics as I can do it pretty much anywhere which suits my work. If you can raise your heart rate doing it then all the better. Good luck. It’s not easy at first but you’ll be surprised how much you won’t miss the stuff you’re cutting out. I genuinely can’t eat sweet things any more. K | |||

Track what you eat with an app - Lifesum is free and very good. Or you can pay a small amount for tailored meal plans. Educate yourself as to what food contain carbs. You should take all the advice your doctor gives you. They're the medical professionals, not us on here | |||

"Avoid carbonated drinks, even the zero sugar. Limit fruit juices. Food registers on the glycaemic index, you want the lower alternatives. Eg apples over oranges; sweet potatoes over white potatoes; brown/wild/pilau rice over white; porridge over rice krispies; and so on." Agree with this. 1. Limit food and drink with a high glycaemic index (GI) and a high glycaemic Load (GL) 2. Weight loss. 3. Reduce saturated animal fat which will reduce cholesterol 4. reduce salt/sodium which will reduce high blood pressure 5. look up metabolic syndrome 6. 10,000 steps a day. 7. Look up Geriatric diabetes for the 65 and overs. 8. Get a blood sugar monitor 9. work with your doctor and a nutritionist. 10. stop smoking and alcohol. good luck. | |||

"I have not found diabetes UK at all helpful its just condescending silly quizzes & very little useful information. Perhaps its aimed at people of a different age & gender ? " Totally agree with this. If I followed my doc and diabetic nurse’s advice I’d still be high numbers. Meal plans are awful and full of stuff that actually increases sugar levels. Go check out Ken Berry MD. His stuff is pretty spot on. Don’t agree with all of it but it’s pretty good. Eddie Abbew as well, on instagram. He’s a bit in-your-face at times but again, good info in there. | |||

"I was diagnosed with the same thing just before Xmas.. Diabetes can be controlled by diet alone. I thought I was always eating healthily by eating pasta,and plenty of rice etc. However, and beleive it or not there's 9 tea spoons of sugar in 150 grams of white rice. It's cards that you need to avoid. My Doctor advised me to have an 800 cal a day intake for the first month,1200 for the second, and 1400 for the 3rd. I lost just over 13kg's in 7 weeks with the diet I used which was two apples per day and meat only..I no longer have Hyperglycaemia. " Also check out Dr Unwinn on youtube. | |||

I was a PT, qualifications in nutrition and it still didnt help. My feet are numb and BS is extremely high, just starting to do what i should have been 6,7 years ago when i was diagnosed. Eat a high fiber, medium protein and fat diet, Mediterranean diet does the trick. Stay off juice, cola, orange juice, any kind of juice/ginger you can think of, up your water to 4 litres a day (in time obv) stay away from takeaways, alchohol and sweet treats as much as possible and go a 30 min walk after dinner, helps with digestion.

"It is a lifestyle change to a degree. Mixed advice so not helpful. Wonder how many are actually diabetic whether 1 or 2. I’m type 2 on insulin. My advice gleaned from clinicians treating me is avoid pasta unless properly cooked (Al dente) yes cut back on the drink, you STILL-need carbs though! I get hypos which after need carbs to recover properly. Dairy don’t do it. Try & “generally” eat healthier. Are you on meds? If you are on metformin for example, don’t accept the fast acting as you will shit threw the eye of a needle. Sorry to be blunt (that is why you lose weight on it lol) but ask for the slow release version which doesn’t fuck up your bowel. Lots to take in but feel free to pm me if I can help with any questions xxx" Yeah I agree on the carb issue. Some people go full carnivore and only eat animal protein but when I tried that my blood sugar dropped too low! Saturated animal fat spikes my cholesterol but in other people it has no effect. I can have fat-free/low fat dairy and gluten. My poor mother can't have raw fruits and veggies so everything has to be cooked or parboiled. If you have IBS, that must be a nightmare too. Definitely a lifestyle change and what works for everyone is different. Not full diabetic, have been pre-diabetic and am obese but increasing my activity seems to have made it go away.... for now. It runs in my family so I know there's a genetic predisposition for Type 1, Type 2, gestational and the geriatric kind. Definitely have to work closely with professionals and a glucose monitor. | |||

"i have been told am high risk of getting diabetes type2.although i know i will have to be careful with carbs and sugar. Anymore advice on this matter would be helpful.thanks Get out walking, walk a neighbours dog!! Do some aerobics maybe or Zumba, whatever you want that'll give you the exercise you need!! And you know the aul saying, if you don't buy something, ie. Sweets, chocolate, crisps etc, you won't eat them!! Avoid processed foods like frozen pizzas, Bolognese sauces, sweet & sour sauces.... !!?? Eat less take away, treat yourself every now and then but not weekly!! Drink plenty of water!! Check foods for sugar content and get an alternative thing that have less sugar!! Apples and berries are lower in sugar than oranges and peaches!! " Fantastic advice. I've found that walking and counting my steps daily has helped massively | |||

"Carnivore type diet seems to be the way forward but as u said remove the sugar and carbs That is not a healthy way forward for anybody. actually for alot of type 2 this has worked the low carb diet high in non processed meat and full fat dairy has returned very good blood results " So my understanding the "newcastle" diet e.g. 800Kcals per 8 weeks is that its something like 60% carb and the rest is protein and fat and other etc. I find that if I low carb e.g. less than 50g a day I can manage to stay on it for something like 3 to 4 weeks before the cravings for something sweet is overwhelming and that at that stage 400g of galaxy is a 10 min snack. I might lose something like 15Kg in the 3 to 4 weeks but in one week I can put on 7Kg. Insulin for me doesnt necessarily control the blood sugar but I load weight on for sure I can get into ketosis in say 4 days with 50g of carb a day, but then a bacon sarnie (large balm cake, egg, sausage, bacon etc) on a friday means its back to the start again. | |||

You do not need meats or dairy, just make sure you are eating protein. | |||

"Cut right back on processed flour products, especially white bread. Brown or wholemeal is ok if its low carb, (products have a "per 100g" section in the info), anything above 50g per 100g is very high, try to get it under 40g, or lower. Also learn to eat smaller portions, and try to bulk meals out with a lot more protein and dairy to help you feel fuller for longer and provide sustenance. Carbs can be balanced against fibre, 40g of carbs reduces to "net" 30g of carbs if there is 10g of fibre as balance. Pasta is out too, as is anything like pastry, cakes and biscuits. Rice is gone, and starchy veg like potatoes too. Any berry fruit is ok as long as you only eat sensible portion sizes. Study nutritional info on food, and research flour alternatives to make your own pasta, bread etc....or be prepared to pay a lot for ready-made "low carb" or "zero carb" alternatives." Spot on, veggie chillis and curries good, dark chocolate is ok as a treat now And again. Cereals and juices are really high in sugar. Walking or regular exercise is great. | |||

Eat at regular intervals during the day, avoiding late suppers. Do not snack in between meals, let your stomach rest.

Recommended Mediterranean diet and Asian Indian. Limit consumption of red meat 🥩 . Best avoid altogether. Eat wild fish only 🐠 , not farmed even if it is marketed as “organic”. Eggs 🥚 and yogurt (home made from organic milk. Store bought yogurt is rubbish). Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. 🥗 Some say to avoid very sweet fruit, but this is not necessary. If you eat fruits whole rather than juicing or blending in smoothie and as part of a balanced diet, it is very hard to overeat. Eat with limitation food with high glycemic index, e.g. potatos🥔. Drinking 💦 Drink plenty of water. 2-3littres per day, or more depending on weather, type of activity, your preference. Start the day with a pint of water in sips while you are getting ready some time before breakfast (do not skip breakfast). Do not drink soft drinks or alcohol 🥃 . There is no safe dose of alcohol, but if you do drink, drink only occasionally, say a glass or two per week. It is not advisable to drink fruit juice if you have diabetes. Exercise 🚶 🏊 🏃 🏋️ Mild to intense exercises depending on your abilities and general health with attempts to safely up your goals. Rest Good quality sleep 😴 . Practise weekly rest. Jews and some other groups observe their Sabbath – practically abstaining from work that you can do on other days of the week . Have a day of rest when you do not worry about life’s troubles and enjoy time with family and friends and your hobbies. De-stress at every turn. Have a kind and positive attitude.

Eat cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower with lean meat for protein, like chicken or turkey. Drink oat milk no sugars instead of cow’s milk. Eat 2 apples a day. This will all aid weight loss and should lower your LDL (bad) cholesterol. | |||

"you got to stop thinking one cure for all its just not like that yes 80% will beat it many wont even get it after pre warnings but some that smaller minority its somewhat more complex and not just eat better exercise some people are so complex and have other severe health conditions ... so one cure for all its not and even the easy ones will need different diets as different foods act differently with each person .... keep it to the thread guys i dont need you to tell me im wrong or right privately its a open forum say it on the post" Seems they can not help themselves and have to reply in pm than the forum.  | |||

. Seriously, there's a lot of good material out there on the internet, and a bunch of misinformation too. Do you know the glycemic index of the stuff you ate today? Do you know what a glycemic index is? Those might be good starting points for Mrs Google | |||

"Possibly dangeeous snake oil salesmen, all of them. Wouldn't trust any of them. "What's the sugar & carbs content of snake oil? Is the high quality extra virgin snake oil any better than the ordinary, for diabetics? | |||

"I hear that going higher fat (good fat) coconut butter/cheese, nuts etc and lowering carbs (potatoes etc) helps with that from some friends." That's the best approach, my hubby's used the Keto diet and it's worked wonders for him. Mrs x | |||

"the keto diet is bery good but it has a dangerous point too the amount of people i see ill from low blood sugars on keto diets the danger point being bedtime and tour blood sugars going really low ... its also possible to have high blood sugars and be in a keto zone Ketotic hyperglycemia is very dangerous and life threatening tho mainly type one it can and does happen to type 2 as well the above 2 are mainly points for those on insulin" In case you're referring to diabetic keto acidosis, I've copied an abstract from diabetes.org site: Some people follow a ketogenic diet to lose weight, sometimes called the keto diet. This is a very low carb diet that produces ketones in their blood. We don't recommend the keto diet for treating diabetes because there is not enough evidence to say it is safe or effective. Does the keto diet cause DKA? Following a keto diet does not necessarily cause DKA. A keto diet leads to ketosis when your body breaks down stored fat to convert it into energy. You might think that more ketones in your blood this would increase your risk of DKA. But, this ketosis doesn’t lead to DKA if your pancreas is still producing insulin, or you inject the right amount of insulin for your diabetes, and your blood doesn’t become acidic. But if you are considering a ketogenic diet you should speak to your diabetes team first . | |||
