It takes knowledge and it also takes trial and error to get your diet in balance, and there is NO cure for diabetes at the present time. There is control; there is even good control to the degree than symptoms disappear, but the patient still has diabetes - they have not been cured - any lessening of the restrictions on diet, and the high readings will return in a flash.

The natural sugar in fruits can elevate blood glucose just as fast as full sugar soda pop, which is why orange juice is often the treatment of choice when a person's blood glucose drops dangerously low.

So use your meter and test to determine which foods you can tolerate and which ones raise your readings higher than is safe. That's the trial and error part, and the knowledge part is what you learn from the trial & error.

HealthWyze, you are sounding like a broken record here, nothing useful to say just trying to pimping your agenda. Diet is important. But it can't cure it for type 1. I'm a type 1, done various low carb or no carb diets including the neanderthin diet during a period when I was without insurance and insulin and trying to survive. I think that was the worst decission I ever made, there is no substitute for insulin. Well maybe stem cells, or a pill one day

I'm sorry for sounding like such a broken record. I really am just trying to help. The neanderthin diet is not something that I would recommend, but I appreciate that you have experimented with alternatives. You're right when you say that there is no substitute for insulin. You can also reverse insulin resistance. Perhaps this will help to clear things up:

Special Investigative Report: Curing Diabetes Naturally and Holistically

For what it's worth, it is very unlikely for a pill to ever cure a systemic disease like diabetes. Even if they did find a cure in a pill, would it be made available? Such a pill would destroy the $multi-million industry which caters to diabetes. Just a thought.

Take care

I used to be a big snacker (chips, candy, etc.). When watching TV I just have to snack. I've replaced chips with frozen fruit. Popping frozen raspeberries is a great and healthy alternative to high carb chips.

. Another good combo is frozen strawberries drizzld with balsamic vinegar (1g carbs for a tablespoon). The combination sounds crazy but is quite common in Italy (though usually with fresh strawberries). Give it a try
