A common question for people with type 2 diabetes is what can I snack on. Here we look at some of the best options and yes, spoiler alert, even fruit is one of them!
One nut that I would avoid is Brazilnuts. I once ate a few each day as a snack and my blood pressure shot up. It went back to normal in a day or two when I stopped. I guess that it is something to do with the huge amount of selenium in them - more than 30x the RDA per 100g.
Fully aware of frutose Leona. Thanks for the comment. Zero evidence to show eating reasonable amounts of fruit causes chronically high glucose levels as I say in the video. In fact longer term people do better with a balanced diet including fruit. That’s very very well established. That’s before looking at the wider benefits of reduced cancer risk, gut micorbiome, cardiovascular risk and the list goes on.
@@JM-gc8fn hey JM Thanks for the comment Prob best to speak to the doctor as you can explain your schedule properly to then However, in theory, on day shifts take it in the morning and before dinner and on night shifts Take it when you return from work - so your normal breakfast time and when you wake up - your normal dinner time Hope that makes sense
I can have an Atkins shake, and my glucose spikes....but I'll eat 2 slices of cantelope, without a spike. If you're eating the right foods, most fruit is ok in moderation. Now, you have to test them all out, bc you could have some fruits that always spike. Grapes do that to me. 🥺 And frozen grapes used to be a favorite treat.
Fruit. Go look at mastering diabetes and they eat so much fruit. The guy who eats prolly 70% of calories from fruit has the best blood tests and they check everything and compete against each other. They are the type that requires insulin. They saw it’s actually fat clogging the sugar receptor sites. It’s not sugar…. The sugar can’t get in. Just don’t mix high fat and high fructose. You’re fine. Test it yourself. Eat a clean healthy diet with Whole Foods. You’ll see levels are more stable the higher quality of Whole Foods you eat

You need to learn about fructose in fruit. This is bad advise.

Dr. Boz says fruit is evil. I’ve learnt that fructose can damage your liver.
