... is that you can eat everything that you used to eat before you were diagnosed with it.
You just have to cut back drastically and some foods more drastically than others. You like fries? you can eat fries, just maybe less fries than you're used to and if you're still hungry then you fill the gaps in your diet with more vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, carrots or whatever non-starchy vegetables you like. Hell, you can even eat starchy vegetables if you want but again, gotta cut back cause carbs can turn into sugar and too much sugar fucks up your blood glucose and a1c even more. cut soda out entirely imo unless you can stand the taste of diet soda which i can't. i just switched to water.
This has been my diabetes talk i guess lmao
Ever since I got diagnosed, I've lost 23 pounds. Apparently losing 10% of your weight from when you were diagnosed can lower your A1C considerably and i'm 2 pounds away from that so let's fucking go.
