Diabetic

[Spoked Wheels]

I have the same deadly duo combination. Have you a list of accepatble foods that meet the somewhat conflicting requirements of both conditions and of course a list of the "no, noes"?

Fortunately for me, I grew up eating food rich in lentils, beans, chickpeas, fish and lots of salads so it has been very to go back to that diet.
I hardly drink any alcohol, only occasionally it must be 5 months since I had some wine with a meal, my big problem is that I cannot live without bread butter and cheese. Sugar was another problem, 3 tea spoons with every cup of tea/coffee was the dosis. Just before I was diagnosed I went through a period where for the first time in my life I abused chocolate consumption.... no idea what brought that on.
Quinoa is another very good food to eat, ideal rice replacement. The doc said bastmati rice it's ok.

I also eat almonds, chestnuts, etc.

Porridge every single morning, without fail.

Favourite lunch for me is a large portion of green salad with avocado,sherry tomatoes and proms, tea and bread with something I shouldn't eat too much

I must thank my wife cause without her I would be in serious trouble. She cooks all my meals and she is a wonderful cook.

Besides that I eat everything on occasions and moderation , even chocolates or honey to mention 2.

Cycling and walking are also part of treatment.
