If you like that one, you'll love Nina Planck's "Real Food - What to Eat and Why" which is the next level of detail.
My wife and I are enjoying the local proteins too, particularly the eggs. good luck and keep us posted on your journey.
helping: supportive spouse who wants to eat healthy
not helping: workplace that provides meals (including many packaged carbs)
strategy: have nuts with me to help with "temptations" and eat planned good snacks regularly to avoid becoming hungry
...
It will depend on your other labs. I have been fortunate that my bp is great and my cholesterol is not an issue (and improving too), so I am not getting pressured about fats, and i have done well on eggs, meats and good-quality dairy, in addition ...
my wife was walking the dog and me around the park already for 20 min per day before dx, that only changed to 30 min and added some hills. also the timing changed. we used to walk as soon as i got home, now we walk after digestion and before testi...

Know Your Fats: The Complete Primer for
Understanding the Nutrition of Fats, Oils, and Cholesterol
By Mary Enig, PhD
I've been eating more sat fat and cholesterol to replace some of the reduction in carbs and my ldl is down ...
lemon juice? srsly? i will have to try that I can actually get lemons at work. i have to walk when stressed it sends my bg up at work.
Maybe this should go in the geek forum, but the highest value I see here is the potential for information - that is, the availability of raw data and the ability to mine it for patterns. Saying "it's not the same for everyone" is too dismissive - ...
I don't so much "cheat" as "scam"
I work at an FDA-governed flight kitchen, and may not bring food. they provide sugary cereals, which i love. so I will divide a bowl pack into 5 diabetic portions, basically i divide until the carbs are under 10 ...
me too! routine is dinner, then a walk, then test. the closer to 100 my bg is the better the dessert.
if it's under 100 i take a few oz of real sugar coke (from Mexico)

Michelle said… - Hi Peter, I saw your post to the forum about your dr appt experience and see we live in the same state. I'm up in Seattle and was diagnosed in late January. On your profile, you don't state an A1C number. Did they not run that test? It has to be run in a laboratory, at least from my newby knowledge. But it gives a number that tells a lot about the state of your diabetes. Again, I'm a BIG newby, but gettign that number will help.
I too want to learn more about my pancreas and have just asked my doc to run the peptide and GAD antibody tests so we have that info. I think knowing as much as we can, about what our, as I like to think about it, where our baseline is, at this moment, then I feel fueled to act in the ways I can, to influence my outcome, such as being strict with my eating habits, creating a diet I can follow and getting MORE exercise.
Let us know what happens next and I hope you have a more positive experience with the next medical professional.
Michelle
