I am stuggling to help my husband who has type 2. Can anyone tell me which vegetables and fruits are good for him. I have gone on so many sites and one site will tell me that a certain fruit is good for him and then another site will tell me that he cannot eat that fruit. I am so confussed.

I have type 2 diabetes and 4 many years my blood sugars have been very high. Im talking in the 3 and 4 hundreds, i just couldent get them down 4 nothing. And while my sugars were allways so high i was allways so hungry all the time it caused me 2 gain so so much weight. my girlfriend works doing care taker 4 an elderly lady. Well her client has diabetes also and she has told me about decf green tea. How its very good 4 lowering blood sugars. And of course weight loss.and let me tell u these past 3 weeks my sugars are below 140 yeah thats normal range. And i can feel myself loseing weight everyday and i feel so much better. I was @ 80mg. Of lantus insulin 3 weeks ago, and now im @ 10mg. My doctor is getting ready 2 stop the lantus. I drink lots of hot tea plain, but u can put splenda in it if u want 2 4 that sweet taste. I like mying plain. And i love it cold 2 with ice which ever u prefur. But it really really works trust me…..

Monkeybutt: Diabetes can’t always be prevented. There is family history that has to be taken into account. If someone is active with a healthy diet and weight, they reduce their risk. In some cases, such as mine, it can only be prolonged. Family history dictated it was more of a matter of “when” than “if”
