IVP’s for diabetes. Accidents have happened. Now live

less dangerous stuff. Doctor not in favour of IVP for
me.BUT…<br

hi all<br
john, its 46c here so enjoy your cool weather!! lots of
fruit about though, do u restrict your fruit quantity?
does everybody here drink fruit juices? i recently
read that blood sugars jump up after juice and fruit.
very little breads and no fruit so what do we eatr?

You have to count your fruit and juice in your daily carbohydrate count. For
me…fruit juices (the real stuff) counts heavy in sugar.<br

through trial and error i found i can’t have ANY fruit juices not even the 10%
kind because it raises my blood sugars. i also eat very little fruit. hope this
is not the case for anyone else, laura

oh, but i CAN eat sweets. hehe

You do have to count fruit and juice in to your
daily diet. If you can eat sweets then you better be
watching your diet a lot more closely, close enought to be
able to have what is good for you instead of what is
not. But it appears that you are doing just the
oppisite. Watch out that can cause serious health problems
in your future.- Lizzi

but is raising my blood sugars healthy? if i only
drink a small amount of fruit juice it rises. my
dietician told me to eat whatever i wanted as long as it
was in moderation including sweets. <br
recently reported sugar is very important for our brains.
they even said to go ahead and eat candy. i found i do
much better on tests or anything requiring logic after
eating something sweet. since i already knew one of the
main foods needed for the brain was sugar i’ve told
people for years sugar is good for you. <br
researched the nutrition you get from so-called healthy
foods and the so-called junk foods. you’d be shocked! a
candy bar has much more nutrition than any fruit or
vegetable. and yes it also has more fat but fat is needed
too. you’d have to eat alot of fruits and vegetables
and you’d still couldn’t get as much nutrition as a
candy bar. ketchup is full of more nutrition per ounce
than anything else i could find. salt is also needed
in diets. we’ve been led down the wrong paths to
eating right. eat what makes you feel good overall.

thank you all for the experience with
fruit/juice. i guess eating the fruit might be better than
drinking the stuff. these days everykind of fruit is
availbale in the market especially mangoes. i rather miss
the meal and fill up on fruit. today i had peach,
salad, meat, tomato soup, cooked spinach(2 spoons) is
this within what everybody else is eating this is
typical lunch for me; dinner is smaller. Please write and
say if this is what everybody else is eating…….

You were interested in what others were eating on
a daily basis, so I just thought I’d
share.<br
tomato, cucumber, bean sprouts and one slice of American
cheese,(no mayo) with a diet Pepsi. Around 11:30 I have a
banana. Around 1:00 I have a salad, another toasted
bagel, soup, and another diet Pepsi. Around 3:30 I have
a hard boiled egg, 3 or 4 pretzel sticks, an apple,
plus another diet Pepsi. For supper I have a salad and
garlic bread or a McDonalds McGrilled Chicken, No mayo,
along with another Diet Pepsi. Around 11 p.m. I have a
bowl of Cheerios with a banana and skim milk.<br
know it sounds like I eat like a Chaza, but it works
for me. My last 3 Quarterly Hb1Ac tests have all
turned out about 5.7. I’ve also cut my meds by 1/3 and
lost 60 pounds. It is not uncommon for me to have 3 or
4 pieces of fruit in the course of my day.<br
guess that shows that everybody has to find out what
works for them. What works for some doesn’t work for
others. You have to study your own system and find out
what works for you. My Diabetes Nutritionist and
Diabetes Nutritionist were invaluable.

The last line should have read: My Diabetes Nutritionist and Diabetes

approaching wedding. I’ll be thinking of both of you.<br
