I was diagnosed with Type 2 about 5 weeks ago. My doctor strongly recommended "Eat to Live" by Joel Fuhrman, and I've been following it reasonably well.
In a nutshell, my blood glucose readings have been between 95-120 for the past 10 days, and I've been exercising more, too. After this morning's result, I realize I need to cut back on consumption of nuts. My goal is to have it down in the 80's before my followup visit in February.
I don't have the craving for Cokes or sweets, and the diet is varied enough so as not to be boring.
Exercise really helps a great deal. Much as I love to sit in front of my pc, a sedentary lifestyle is deadly.
I don’t usually crave sweets any more, occasionally I fall of the wagon, usually that happens in Publix’s bakery or driving in front of the local bakery...mmm frosting...
My real weakness is far carbohydrates though. I love bread and pasta.
My Doc recommended Dr Ron Rosedale MD
