The ULTIMATE Shopping Guide For Diabetics - What To Eat & Avoid w/ Diabetes

[@therealhinata7153]

Me and my mom found this channel the day I hit 6.5 on the A1C and was told I had type 2 diabetes, doctor said I could reverse it with exercise and good diet. Since the day me and mom found flavcity, we cut fast food and started eating right. 5 weeks in and I'm 30lbs down with my blood sugar went from 120s to 90s now! This is the content America needs!

Kathy, I agree with you 100% that these Doctors look and talk to you in that certain kind of way but are not helpful in the way you need. like the nutritionist tells you what not to eat, but there's no real education on why it can be bad for you. or for that matter where one can buy diabetic-friendly foods. they don't explain to you about the inflammatory ingredients so you make better choices. or that certain medication can increase your blood sugars. with Bobby Parrish, I am learning what to look for in healthy foods, why they're good for me and how to read labels. that is very important, so thank you, Bobby I certainly appreciate it.

[@SummerHawaii582]

@VETERAN VS type 2. Not type 1.

[@laurafitzsimmons6548]

Type 1 Diabetes runs in my family (this type of diabetes is genetic and autoimmune in nature). My brother has Type 1 Diabetes and was showing the classic symptoms (frequent urination, constant hunger, constant thirst, cravings for salt, etc) at around 1-2 years old. My mother knew something was wrong but unfortunately the doctors ignored her until he was finally diagnosed at age 5 after being admitted to the hospital with extremely high blood sugar levels. My brother will always have Type 1 Diabetes (unlike those with Type 2, who can reverse the disease through healthy eating and lifestyle changes). Unfortunately for my brother his pancreas will never be able to produce insulin but healthy eating habits and lifestyle choices will of course help those with Type 1 manage their disease. You should have your daughter do all the testing for Type 1 Diabetes as it seems that she is displaying some of the common symptoms.

[@rhiahlMT]

You can get a panel run without a doctor. It requires a blood test, there is no way around that. Look online for LabCorp. Look for their tests and request a C-Peptide test, this will tell you if her pancreas is working properly (that will show if Type 1 is happening). Also ask for a blood glucose test AND an A1C. You pay online and take the receipt down to the the LabCorp office near you. Take the results to the doctor. Normal ranges can be found online. If anything is outside the normal range, get her into the Doctor. Juvenile diabetes is an issue. So, check. You can get diabetes at any age. Some are later than others. Yes, she can have it at this age.

[@rhiahlMT]

@VETERAN VS No, it is not possible to overcome Type 1. You will die without insulin. Also, there are insulin dependent Type 2s, rare but that does happen. There is also Type 1.5 which may not be able to be overcome. We won't even go into Type 3 and the variants on that.

I discovered very early on that the best "sweet treat" smoothie I could make for myself and not spike blood sugar is by buying a 100% cocoa dark chocolate bar, a handful of strawberries, fage yogurt and 2 packets of monkfruit sweetener or truvia. It's delicious, creamy and sweet and doesn't make me feel like crap afterwards. Pretty high in fat, but it's mostly good fats being the cacao is 100% and the yogurt. You can also drink half and save the other half for the next day :) sweeten yourself with Diabetic friendly sweetener and you don't have to worry about added sugar!

I understand the struggle first hand. I'm disabled and living on a poverty level amount of money. Because I live with my daughter, I don't qualify for food help.

Aldi's and Walmart has good options and he has videos for these. Oh, and look for simple ingredients on the label. The longer the ingredients, the worse it is. All the best!

My A1c (diabetes marker) went from 6.3 (prediabetic) to a very healthy 5.1 in less than a year by eating low carb, the way Bobby talks about. And I ate really good food and didn't feel deprived. Once I realized I could have anything I wanted, I just needed to make a low-carb version myself, it was a game changer.

[@barbaradingeldein1273]

Glad u ate GOOD food .my pocketbook was deprived however..LOOK AT THE PRICES MR.BOBBY..WHAT DO LOW INCOME PPL DO??? WHAT IS YOUR SOLUTION FOR THAT BOBBY..I HAVE BEEN ASKING YOU THIS QUESTION FOR A YEAR NOW WITH NO RESPONSE FROM U....NOT HELPING...WHAT U SPEND FOR WEEKEND I HAVE TO MAKE STRETCH FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS...DO U HAVE A SOLUTÌON FOR ME OR WILL I BE CONTINUOUSLY IGNORED?

[@lola0600]

@@barbaradingeldein1273Bobby is not a financial adviser, he is not a physician, you have to work within your budget, even if the budget is low. A lot of the Asian grocery stores sell food at much lower prices than regular food markets, find one and other ethnic grocery stores, they are usually cheaper. Also try the food pantries, where I live in Ohio, there are multiple locations, I mean a lot of locations where you can get free food. Where I go they usually have tuna fish, steaks, chicken, some fish, lots of canned goods and bread if you can eat it. I have found that I spend less food on groceries eating a lower carb diet. Just stick with the basics: leafy greens, broccoli, green beans, cauliflower, tomatoes, spaghetti squash, I buy a large one, cook it and the store some in my freezer, there is a long list of vegetables you can eat and really, buy what you can afford. No need to get angry at Bobby, do what you can to get healthier with what you can afford, another thing, try to grow some of your own vegetables, if you live in an apartment, you can grow like cherry tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, different herbs, I did that. There are a lot of videos on KZbin that show you how to grow vegetables in containers, this can greatly cut down on cost of food and look for community gardens in your area, find service that is offered, if you are 50 and older, look at AARP, they have a lot of services, go to your community centers, a lot of senior community centers have a lot of services. It is not a hopeless situation, there are things that you can do. I really, look forward to the day when food is not an issue, something that was promised to us all, but right now we have to do what we can do

[@Janis342]

Did you see the prices of the oils? Who can afford this?

[@carlad2346]

There is some great ideas and advice in this video. I know that brown rice pasta was mentioned although not recommended. I was eating brown rice pasta as a substitute for regular pasta. I recently discovered that brown rice pasta has a glycemic index of 95 which is very high! That's more than white sugar at 68. Regular pasta, both whole wheat and white, have a glycemic index of around 50 al a dente, if you don't boil it to mush. At 50, it is considered to be in the low 0-55 glycemic index range.

[@arleneriley2524]

Bobby, you can eat the inside of steamed artichoke leaves, put a leaf of the artichoke inside your mouth, and scrape it with your teeth. Btw, you can make a diabetic friendly dip, and dip before eating. I’m Italian, we stuff them with a breadcrumbs mixture, which is not diabetic friendly to do so.

You dear are addicted to sugar. Finding other flavors means LEARN TO COOK AND USE SPICES BESIDES SALT. Buy yourself a half a dozen cookbooks and cook from scratch. Don't make the same thing twice in one month. Get a joy of cooking cookbook, A good vegetarian cookbook, A bean cookbook( also called pulses) a fish cookbook, and a turkey or fowl cookbook. And if you have allergies get at least 2 cookbooks for it for substitute. If overweight try eating more beans than red meat. Their are over 2,000 different kinds of beans unless your allergic don't turn up your nose untill you try. It will bring you bloodsugers down and keep it down.

You can take different food and try what is the best for you. Everyone is different. To me, avocado is a no no. Consuming 1 medium avocado will shoot up my glucose level a lot.

Okay, I would love Bobby's knowledgeable response to two items, because I have lived on a working farm all my life and always have had a garden. 1) when u say the brassicas are naturally bug repellent? Not in my world! In the Midwest we get moths that lay eggs on all these brassicas which turn into worms, disgusting! I work very hard to organically keep these pests at bay. 2) when u say that grass fed and finished beef doesn't have to say organic because it's on grass. Just so u know farmers love to spray their grazing fields for weeds too. One of them is called grazon. And I know for certain grazon is NOT ORGANIC , and I certainly would not want to consume meat raised on that so please check into that. Side note to grazon is that even compost that is made from cow manures is toxic to growing plants, they will die! And that is AFTER it has been composted down into a growing medium. When a cows composted manure kills plants from grazing on a sprayed pasture I would NOT recommended u do not need to look for organic! Please double check that and update ur recommendations.
