I have found what's good for one person may not be for another.  You have to find what works best for you.  I limit bread, pasta, sugar, and grease and eat smaller portions than I used to.  I cook with olive oil.  I don't eliminate anything entirely.  Those things I love but shouldn't overdo....  I set limits on.  An example would be "onion rings".  I only have them about once every 4 months or 5 months. When I do, I savor every bite!  I have found this keeps me from feeling "deprived".  Pick and choose wisely according to how your body reacts.  No one diet is right for everyone, imo. We are not cookie cutter people!

I love, love, love Whataburger onion rings.  So the first night with an order I eat the two smallest and put the remaining in the freezer and eat slowly for several nights to come.  Nothing like an onion ring with the last bite of my salad @jubilant

Someone the other day, told me to try the 30 day Bacon diet / challenge.

Are you kidding me?!

Eat a lb of bacon every day for 1 month.

Now that's a crazy, fad diet.

Not even tempted.

Threads & random interweb articles boldly declaring that

’Healthy Eating’ is not good is just....ludicrous & ridiculous.

More people die from unhealthy eating so...there’s that.

They certainly do,  people that tell diabetics 300 count blood sugars are fine, will  ruin their health, or posible kill them

? Doesn’t make sense.

What people don’t know about Diabetes is a lot.

In fact, eating healthy/the correct way can reverse T2D.

Paying more attention to their nutrition can reverse their illnesses.

Why wouldn’t someone want that?  Maintaining a preventable

illness sounds like an addiction.

Harping continuously  on an unproven (and allegedly universal) prescription for a so-called "healthy diet" can become an addiction, too.

The internet gives these addicts an easy, convenient forum for  their obsessive monologues.

And best of all, these folks get to remain anonymous, don't have to post any reputable credentials---much less earn any-- and can walk away feeling lilke they did the world a favor by imparting their "wisdom".

I totally agree.

All the low carb - Keto - Paleo - primal eating have zero 

unproven conclusions for long-term health.

But yet, go to a bookstore for low-carb books...it’s there.

TV advertising?  It’s there.  Turn on QVC...it’s there.

It’s so socially acceptable, it’s deemed safe when it’s not.

Adult Diabetes Education Program- 1 - High Blood Sugar (Hyperglycemia)What is high blood sugar? In general, a blood sugar reading of more than 180 mg/dL or any reading above your target range is too high. A blood sugar reading of 300 mg/dL or more can be dangerous. If you have 2 readings in a row of 300 or more, call your doctor.

Adult Diabetes Education ProgramHigh Blood Sugar (Hyperglycemia)- 2 - If you have any of these symptoms, check your blood sugar level to see if that is the problem. If your blood sugar levels are high for several days, you may also feel hungry, nauseated or dizzy when you stand. If your blood sugar keeps going higher, other people may notice that you act confused. This is an emergency, and you need to go to the hospital right away. If you aren’t treated, you can go into a coma.How can I treat hyperglycemia?First, drink plenty of water or sugar-free fluid to help “flush” the sugar from your bloodstream. Think about why your blood sugar is high! Blood sugar can be high due to:•illness or infection •stress •less activity than normal •missed diabetes medicine •eating more carbohydrates•a new medicineIf you’ve just not been in your usual routine, your blood sugar should go back to normal once your routine goes back to normal.But if you feel ill, see blood sugar over 300 twice in a row, or see blood sugar above your target range for more than a week, then you should call your doctor.Ask your doctor, nurse or dietitian:1.What is the target range for my blood sugar readings? 2.What should I do when my blood sugar readings are too high? 3.When should I call you about high blood sugar levels? 4.Can you help me to make a sick day plan?Developed by the Michigan Diabetes Research and Training Center, NIH grant P60DK02572), 2012

Again...you have no idea what you’re talking about because this 

information is for the SAD diet the majority of people eat.

For those wanting to maintain their T2D condition,

maintain those high numbers can be dangerous.

The key is change of diet to lower BS and reduce or

eliminate insulin on a permanent basis.

Healthy eating is not an addiction.

Healthy eating reverses illnesses.

Maintaining a preventable condition, by choice, is an addiction.

See your Dr if you are diabetic ,and ask him or her, if a 300 point blood sugar level is safe?

I am not on anyone's payroll, I am not a shill, and I have kept my A1C normal, for as long as I have been a diabetic
