Pears

Correct. Sugars and carbs are not our friends.

This where im really struggling to get to grip with all this. The initial advice on being diagnose T 2 in December was balanced diet , inc 5 a day fruits. What im finding is that carbs and fruits likd pears send my sugar levels soaring and thats bad. #confusednewbie

I was told the same, but joined this forum and realised how out of touch the NHS are. So LCHF is the way forward for me. Only fruit I can eat are berries. Replaced white bread with Burgen & Lidl's high protein rolls, replaced potatoes with sweet potatoes & celeriac, rice with bulgar wheat (no one mentions that on here, but it's much lower carb than rice & is gorgeous!) and replaced pasta with courgetti. If I fancy anything sweet, then just a couple of squares of 85% dark choccy does the job. Also made a LC cake.🙂

My nurse told me to have only 2-3 portions of fruit a day, because of the sugar levels in them.
