Diabetes Diet Dos and Don'ts - Everyday Health


I really try to pick my battles with this wrong info But it seems the mass will believe this & not me. lol

Sad. My numbers would be through the roof if I ate the starches it recommends. And fat is what keeps my from spiking really high and dropping really low!

Wow that is like the exact opposite of what we should eat!! Eat oatmeal for breakfast every day. Trim the fat off your meat, avoid high fat dairy.
Ay, yi, yi.

Yesterday I got an email from WebMD, about cholesterol. Go online and take their cholesterol quiz. Which I did quite well on. But then I read their advice about statins, and I quote "You should think of taking your statin every day just like taking your vitamin for your health". OMG!!!!!!

Some people report their cholesterol dropping, but some don't. Someone quoted an author (maybe Dr. Bernstein?) saying to give your body six months to adjust. That's what I'm doing. I'll go for a cholesterol test in another couple of weeks.
