Please help - Re Diet - Diabetic

I apologize in advance if this sounds in appropriate.

I am looking for a 2 or 3 page doc that lists all the good foods for
type 2 diabetic patients.

Most articles talk in terms of high fiber, low fat etc diets. But what
are high fiber foods ? etc.and they hardly list a few specific foods.

If they would list the food specifically - like say a fruit: apple or
a nut : walnut, it would be so much easier than for ignorant people
like me to have to find out what is a high carb food or a high fiber
food etc., what is high in the bad fats etc.

Can anyone pls send me a link to a page that lists such foods in a
simple manner specifically listing such foods. I am sure that it is
out there but I have not see it.

I have been compiling a list of foods...but I am never certain how
accurate I am nor is my list long enough to give me a variety to
consume.

I do not know if others have the same issue. I apologize if I sound
like I am not with it.

Thanks,

Ayesha Hill

I don't know of a full list, and the list often varies for each diabetic,
but these should work:

To get more information for diabetics, start he

There is no such list.

Learn to read nutrition labels. Fiber is listed. Get yourself a book of
food counts. Most drug stores carry them. Some grocery stores do.

You need a book. A small list is not enough.

I don't think it exists. There are so many foods they can't be put on a
small list.

That's why you need the book.

There is some online database. Perhaps someone can give you a link. I
don't have one. Sorry.

Go to the grocery store and read the nutrition labels on products.

I've learned more from doing this than I ever have reading nutrition
guides.

I wish I would have paid more attention to those labels years ago,
because I probably wouldn't be a diabetic today.

Unfortunately, this won't help with fresh produce, so the poster needs a
good calorie, carb, fiber, etc counting book. I like the small Atkins one
which gives toatal carbs, fiber and net carbs for all kind of ffoods.

Probably not true at all.

Since we watch more than carbohydrates in our house (cholesterol,
vitamin K,etc.) I have downloaded the USDA guide and use it to check
various food items. I find it a great aid in portion control as it's
fairly easy to get the nutrient values by weight.
