You are allowed to have a very small portion of potatoes, every now and then. Call your local hospital, and speak with both the diabetic nurses, and the nutritionist. They may be able to give you a few sheets with what is good or bad for a person, and proper serving sizes.\n\nhttp://www.healthy.net/scr/article.asp?Id=2835 \nhttp://www.safenaturaltips.com/\netc \n\nHave your stepdad and mom try this recipe: \n\nCauliflower Mashed "Potatoes"\n\n1 head cauliflower\n1 clove garlic (optional)\n1/8 cup skim milk, plain yogurt, or good butter\nSalt & pepper\nPaprika\n\nThis is a great, low-carb alternate to mashed potatoes. I'm not a big fan of cauliflower, yet this tastes surprisingly good.\n\nSteam cauliflower (optionally with a clove of garlic) until tender. Cut the cauliflower into pieces and place in a blender with the milk, yogurt or butter. Season with salt and pepper and then whip until smooth. Pour cauliflower into small baking dish. Sprinkle with paprika and bake in hot oven until bubbly.\n\nCarbohydrates: 6g per cup

Most diabetics try to keep their carbohydrate intake to a minimum.  So it would be good to have something healthy like a big salad or vegetable casserole along with the stuffing and yams and such.  Turkey is fine...that's protein.  Diabetics can eat carbs; but they must be sure to control the amount every day.  Protein and veges...very good for diabetics and others.

Lots of ideas for you:\n\nDrink plenty of water - being dehydrated makes you crave sugar.\nEat good chocolate - get some of the 70% stuff, you won't want to eat so much of it.\nEat good food before you get too hungry - that'll stop you craving a sugar fix.\nEat sweet things like fresh or dried fruit and have a drink of water when you want to eat sugar.\nOnly eat sugar after a meal, that way it won't make you go sugar high and then hit a sugar low.

check the glucose content in honey. My father had diabetes and he insisted that he could eat all the honey that he wasted but when I had gestational diabetes I was told that honey is only slightly healthier than sugar and should also be used with caution.\nTalk to your doctor.

Since your life is shortened when you have diabetes, you should not aim for being a normal diabetic, you should aim to cure your disease, in other words, be normal in blood sugar.  Type 2 can be cured.  My dad did it with the Pritikin diet.  It is drastic, but the disease's consequences are severe.  Allowing it to continue is keeping drug companies and your doctor in pools of money.  Get angry and get cured.  If you're going to drop oranges because they're carbs, make sure you consume a variety of other fruits including tomatoes.  Until your blood sugar drops to normal levels, cut out those starches that are made without fiber like white rice, potatoes, white bread and batter-fried foods.  Who wants to be addicted to drugs for 40 years, and then die (or get crippled) early anyway?

For type 2 you need diet and exercise. Follow the diabetic diet and walk for at least a half hour every day. If you are overweight, go on a diet

Talk to your doctor about getting a referral to a registered dietician or nutritionist -- someone who specializes in meal planning and diet management. Everyone's body is unique in the amount of nutrition needed on a daily basis. An expert in the area would be your best option for receiving safe, reliable information on this subject. \n\nSome basic pointers for the high blood sugar (hyperglycemic) eater:\n++ Avoid foods that are high in sugar content. Don't cut sugar out of your diet completely, but keep your intake to a minimum. Your body needs some sugar in order to have energy.\n++ Avoid foods that are high in carbohydrates. Carbs are metabolized as sugars and can cause hyperglycemia just like eating sugar. Avoid starchy foods as much as possible. Pasta and potatoes are the worst... with white bread coming in a close second. \n++ Keep your intake of fried, fatty foods to a minimum. High cholesterol goes hand in hand with diabetes.\n++ Keep an eye out for your sodium / salt intake. High blood pressure is another one of those pesky conditions that can come with diabetes. \n\nDon't make any drastic changes to your diet. Instead, settle for gradual decreases. \n\nAgain, talk to your doctor before making any diet changes. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...

rule of thumb, aviod sweet food and check ur sugar regularly. eat plenty of green vegetables, avoid taking much carbohydrate (bread, rice, cereals, etc), eat it moderation (but dont starve), and exercise regularly. hope it helps, but hey dont forget to seek expert help, preferably from a doc/ diabetic nurse/ dietician. the american diabetic association has a resourceful website too. http://www.diabetes.org/home.jsp

Avoid all refined sugar products like candy, icecream, cookies, cake. Also stay away from too many carbs, such as white bread and rice, and pasta. Avoid high fat food like whole milk and cheese, and fried foods.

if you have low sugar level it is advisable to take a tea spoon of sugar to bring it back to normal but if you have high sugar there is no real way to bring it down easily except for diet control

Eat foods that are low on the glycemic index.  You can eat naturally surary foods, if they are higher in fiber, as they are absorbed more slowly by the body.  Apple juice will shove your blood sugar sky high, but an apple should be ok.\n\nVegetables, with some lowfat dip would be good.  Fresh fruit - like apples or dried fruit like apricots can also be good.  COnsult your doctor as to if eating things like sugar free candy or life savers are ok for you.
