Remission you dont go into remission Diabetes progressively gets worse. Lets see you can lose a foot or leg, go blind, have kidney and or liver failure, teeth fall-out, lose feeling in feet hands and stomach etc.
get on a good diet the life you will be saving is your own.
There are several diets you can follow south-beach, Atkins, sugar-busters, etc, etc,
None of these diets are totally correct.
When determining carbs subtract the fiber from total carbs. You can also subtract artificial sweeteners.
portion control is a must and do not get seconds
foods you can eat:
Meat, = Beef well trimmed, chicken, fish broiled or baked, eggs
Nuts - most nuts are low in carbs, peanuts, walnuts, almonds, any that have total carbs of less then 10g
spread buy no sugar added jelly or there are several reduced sugar, no sugar added Peanut butter
vegetables = almost anything but corn If you eat corn stick
with the small kernel corn on the cob.
sugar free ice cream, sugar free jello chocolate that has a
cocoa % >= 60%
Breads = whole grain or low carb whole grain.
pasta = whole grain
rice = brown rice
sodas = diet only
alcohol = Low carb beer, brands like Mich ultra, miller-lite, there is at two others. Red wine or wine that is at least 13% alcohol
tequila
avoid high carb food any anything with a lot of refined sugar
Fruit = try different ones to see how they effect your BS
Apples should not be eaten at meal time.
general rule if its brown then its OK for diabetes
