I have been eating this way now for nearly 2 years and have lost quite a bit of weight, I was diagnosed as a Pre-Diabetic, my numbers have returned to normal. My Cholesterol is good and so is my BP. There is loads of good advice here DietDoctor.com Many people in the medical profession are giving bad outdated advice, telling us that we can eat whatever we wish in moderation. The bad news is we cannot, hence why people are not losing weight or getting their numbers down. I eat what I call real food, no pies, cakes, or bikkies. Good luck

I think that we are all individual - what spikes my sugars may not spike yours ..... it's a trial and error kind of thing. I have found that breads, pastas, potatoes, rice, oatmeal, cereals etc. all cause my sugars to spike. I don't usually have any issues eating fruit - although I try to limit oranges and bananas because they can cause my bs to be higher. I also avoid candy, chocolate, cake, pie, chips and most processed foods. I eat a lot of eggs (boiled or poached), fat free plain greek yogurt, lean meats (chicken breast, turkey, pork, beef), salmon, fruit (my go to fruit are apples, tart cherries and berries) and veggies (carrots, snap peas, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, zucchini and other squashes). I try to eat a protein when I eat fruit - eggs,nuts or cheese.

I always eat breakfast, morning snack (like fruit/eggs), lunch, afternoon snack (similar to morning snack) and then supper. I also often eat a snack before bed. I keep a stash of snacks with me wherever I go (I don't like to be hungry and this way I make better choices)

Good Luck!

That's good to know Judi but my husband Dr gave us a list of good foods to eat like lean meats, veggies, 1 slice whole wheat bread, plain oatmeal, low fat milk /low fat cheese, 1 oz deli meat, a gallon of water and a small apple or small orange. My husband eats a small apple and orange daily and it doesn't spike his numbers. He checks his numbers two hours after dinner and both meds and his numbers are 70-80. He always show it to me.

Ah, i too cannot eat apples, spikes for too long...watermelon kills me...ketchup etc...

Try Barley and Oatmeal

Both of these whole grains are good sources of fiber. Try barley in place of rice or pasta in your favorite dishes, and replace breadcrumbs with oatmeal in meatloaf or for coating baked chicken or fish. Both contain the fiber beta-glucan, which improves insulin action, lowers blood sugar, and helps sweep cholesterol from the digestive tract, Weisenberger says. One cup of cooked barley contains 6 grams of fiber and one cup of cooked oatmeal contains about 4 grams, according to the USDA.
