- A common question we encounter as dietitians is what can I eat with type 2 diabetes?
Often patients want to know the individual foods that they should and shouldn't be eating. However, we can simplify it and make it much easier than this. In this video, I'll show you how.

I like your plate. Half veggies, quarter lean protein and another quarter for my brown rice or taters is a much more doable plan long term than some of the diets out there in TH-cam land.
I like your channel too. It doesn't terrify me with awful fasting and/or giant chunks of meat only meals.
A refreshing change. Is a small serve of fresh fruit okay for dessert?
Thanks so much
I’d say a bit of fruit for dessert is perfectly fine 👍
Hi could you let me know what should your blood sugar be please Regards Chris
Hey Chris. Got a video all about this: th-cam.com/video/AjWcwGZEA0E/w-d-xo.html
If in the US or not UK or OZ, multiply our values by 18 for your reference
Are you classing potatoes as a carb/starch source, or do they count as veg?
Hey Stephen
Good question
They go in the starch category I’m afraid
Great video as usual. Would it be possible to make one in regards to spikes? What’s classed as spikes etc.
@@markryb666 thanks mark
In terms of spikes could you be more specific ?? How to prevent, how to sort them out once happening or some other take on this?
They’re classed as carbs and to be avoided at all costs if you’re diabetic
I’m sorry I disagree and so does the research. You don’t need any carbs but eat them as leafy greens if you want to (veg that grow above ground). Fatty sources of protein should be the biggest portion on you plate. In fact get rid of the plate diagram it’s so misleading. Eat protein and a bit of veg to satiety. Cut out snacks and try to get down to 2 meals a day. ‘Good’ fats don’t make you fat, it’s the pesky over consumption of carbs and processed food that made you overweight. Please watch Dr Zoe Harcomb (sorry not sure if I’ve spelt that right) on fibre, very enlightening and amusing.
Hiya Barbara
Thanks for the comment
Could you reference this research?
I think I have to counter disagree but am open to seeing some articles that have passed me by.
However, as it stands, the issue I have with your comment and individuals like Dr Harcomb is I know that the Information isn’t entirely accurate but presented as fact.
Consider a moment I’m not presenting an opinion. This is my full time job so I’m aware and have read the literature. Me and my colleagues know the authors personally or wrote the research themselves (they are the authors).
I’m not even sure - and please correct me if I’m wrong - if Dr Harcomb is a diabetologist? I.e. does she actually work in diabetes?
I’ll agree, There’s some poorly put together articles on keto and low carb of short duration which has initially better results but every diet ends up practically in the same place after 1 year.
You’re comment ignores the much much much greater body of evidence looking at dietary fibre and thus is confirmation bias.
Not saying people can’t do diets if it works for them. The point is, I work with ALOT of people with diabetes and I can tell you, yes you can keto but after a year you’ll be no better off than the person who just changes their lifestyle consistent with eating the correct types and portions of carbohydrates, fruits and veggies, about 15-20% protein and 30-35% fats. The problem is people think they followed the dietary guidelines before they got diabetes - they didn’t and then swing the other end of the pendulum to keto. Missing that nice spot in the middle.
So if you want to keto, by all means, it’s not my favourite approach and from most of my patients who try it, they don’t particularly enjoy it, but you can achieve exactly the same results using pretty much any diet longer term
The key is sticking to it long term and for most, losing weight and ensuring your diet is nutritionally complete.
Sorry Barbs*
@@diabetesdietguythank you for the explanation. Australia's CSIRO is leading the world in researching & testing lower carb diets and drew the same conclusion as you. They've printed several low carb diet books but they're focused on low calorie with some grains, lean protein and masses of veggies. They couldnt draw conclusions on ketogenic diets as the drop out rates were so high during the test studies. This shows that for all of the success on carnivore/ keto on social media, it's still only 1 in a million in real life.
If you're referring to Zoe Harcombe, no, she's not a diabetologist. She's an author with a degree in nutrition and a speaker for some of the low carb "clubs".
