Roxas of Organization 13 asked:


I was just wondering what kinds of foods a Diabetic would eat? I am new to the Diabetic thing and I wasn’t completely sure what to eat and what to avoid (including snacks other than the main meal). I know that I can’t have any chocolate (unless it was in small dosages or sugar free candy over a period of few days) and I also know that I can have diet pop. Does anyone know what foods would be okay to have (or the foods that I can actually eat at any meal during the day)?

I don’t partake in much sugar-free stuff, but when I do it’s stuff like Red Diamond Sugar-Free Tea and sugar-free candy (in moderation — the stuff makes me go to the bathroom if I eat too much). I also really l ike to eat fruit (high in natural sugars, but not the refined garbage). I have lost 80 pounds and would like to lose 40 more. I’m on Weight Watchers, but I spend what I feel to be too many points on sugary items such as Cracker Jacks, sweetened cereal, dark chocolate, etc. There is no diabetes on either side of my family, but I tend to get insomnia if I eat high-sugar items in the afternoons or evenings. About 1-1/2 years ago, I eliminated ALL carbonated beverages cold-turkey. It was hard at first, but now I don’t miss them.
