I am a type 2 diabetic, my last A1c was 5.4.  I am trying to improve my health and my life on an ongoing basis.  Diet is the number one thing diabetics screw up so that is why I made this forum. You should not listen to anyone about diet unless they too have diabetes.  Doctors are mostly idiots who know very little about this disease and prescribe drugs that hurt more than help you.  I just want you to know a bit about myself.  I trust my body and I trust mother nature, I do not trust the medical establishment for the most part with good reason that I will get into later. 

Just know that I know what I am talking about when it comes to diabetes and food / health.  Hope you get something from this forum, now go make a post and stop lurking in the shadows!
