Exactly, I tried counting, looking and shopping. The best thing is to eat the vegetables, salad with either crab or shrimp in it, no salad dressing, just lemon juice. I use olive oil and apple cider vinegar on salads. I have drank vinegar before. There’s some other herbs and foods that counteract diabetes. I’ll have to look them up and post them. But sourdough bread with liver wurst and kraut are my weakness along with homemade smoked sausage.
i said, "screw it" several years ago.
i have been to 2 dieticians.
BOTH via my primary.
1 was at a medical building, the other has her office inside my primary's office.
yadda, yadda, yadda, add lettuce, tomato's, fruits, veggies, yadda,yadda, yadda..
they think i have Carte Blanc at all the grocery stores. i even spoke up, "what do you think, i got a wallet full of money, have YOU SEEN the prices on fruits, and veggies, that YOU WANT ME TO EAT every day..??"
"i ain't rich, i gotta work for a living"...
somehow, they ""dummied up", when i spoke up.
so i eat WHAT I WANT, just smaller portions and do not eat too many sweets, especially candy, which I LOVE Milky Way, Snickers, etc,etc.....
if i have any of those..??
i get the bite sized, which the American Diabetes Association said, WE CAN HAVE, but only 1..........maybe once a week...!!!!!
so i live for me....if i were to count this, count that, weigh this, weigh that........i'd go batty....
and that ain't about to happen
i got too much in my life to take care of besides my diabetes, and worrying.
