I love vegetables and eat a lot of them. I try stick to more greens - spinach, broccoli and celery and watch my intake of carrots and peas. I eat yogurt and a lot of fish. Even though I am not that fond of fish. Fruits just don't agree with me but I only really noticed that I had become sensitive to them about 15 years into the diabetes and ate a lot (3-4 servings a day) before then. I don't really know what changed. robert stickler <losinmyself25@... Robby, I find that my sugar has improved since I cut out fruit almost entirely. I couldn't eat a banana at all in the past as it made my sugar rise more than a sugar cookie would. I only eat fruit as an occasional treat and then only specific fruits (no banana, melon or grapes). My worst reaction is with any sort of pasta (can't touch it). Strange. But also to tell you that after 23years I have no diabetic <!--more--> complications (lucky so far) and I had a thorough physical (neurologist, eyes, heart, endocrinologist etc). I think my life is great and being diabetic isn't always the best but life can be normal. I think the single best thing i have ever done is be vigilant about my sugar levels which are being diagnosed my Hb - never ever been higher than 7 and is usually less than 6. Natalie Natalie how do you get all of the nutrients you need by cutting out all of your fruits? what kinds of things do you eat? i absolutely detest vegetables, so thats why i eat 1 serving a day. i love fruits, so thats why i eat alot of them. i also eat alot of yogurt. i havent noticed any foods that make my sugars jump. oh i love bananas and grapes! robby Natalie [INLINE] Robby,

That is why I think I don't like orange juice. When I was young, every time I had a reaction, the first thing anyone did to help was get orange juice and load it up with sugar. Back then, that was the most effective way to treat it. I sure am glad things have changed. I used to think it was very funny, knowing what my diet was like at all the women who tried to diet eating fruits. They didn't seem to want to hear what I had to say. One banana serving is half of a small one, how easy is that to measure? There is no way I am going to cut a banana and save part of it. I don't even like whole bananas that are starting to turn brown. Lori 1 banana serving is half a small one? we count 1 banana as 15 carbs. my dietician gave me this big book that tells me how many carbs are <!--more--> in fruits, vegetables, meats, etc. 1 apple is 15 carbs also, as are 17 grapes, 3/4 cup of blueberries, raspberries, and 1 1/4 cup strawberries. thats how i've been counting them. robby Robby,

The vegetables are separated into different lists according to the sweetness or carbs in them...correct? I just know I stay away from orange juice, corn, carrots, fruits, very small amt. etc you stay away from fruits? why? my dietician said i should eat alot of them, since they are good for you. i eat 2 or 3 servings of different fruits a day. robby I was told, english or sweet peas is considered a carb.
