/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Why didn't you ask your doctor?

eat foods with less sugar and simple carbohydrates and get some exercise. A home glucometer can help you know when your worst highs are and they're cheap even without insurance

fucking KEK
>asking 4chan and not a medical professional
this dude ain't gonna make it

Stop eating anything sweet for a single week, including fruits and the likes, then your tastebuds will reset and you won’t be able to finish a single cookie without a big glass of milk.

Cut out the sugar, particularly HFCS, and go on a walk through the park before or after work each day. This will help you get things in check. Read the nutrition labels on your groceries, there's sugar in so many things you wouldn't expect. Good luck, anon.

>>18188629
Lose 200 lbs also

>>18188629
Eat clean once or twice a day and do some cardio every other day.
That's how I got my blood sugar dangerously low

What's your current diet?
What's your current height and weight?

1/3 of the country has pre-diabetes its kind of a meme term since you're extremely unlikely to actually develop real diabetes unless you're genetically predisposed

Fresh pork, roasted

Eat cigarettes for breakfast

Start fasting and reduce carbs

don't mind me just bein' helpful in a serious thread

achewood is never not helpful

you're welcome and good luck, Anon

>>18188629
>>18188629
You should fast.

>>18188663
fucking KEK
>asking jewish poisoners and not white people
this jude ain't gotta make it

cut out all sugar entirely and maybe eat oats for breakfast

>>18188629
Drink more water.
Go for more walks.

>>18188629
>first question is "what can I eat??"
just roll over and let the 'beetus take it's destine course

>>18188629
Keto cures diabetes.

>>18188629
I'm not usually the type to pedal keto but unironically go keto.

>>18188629
>I've just been told by my doctor my blood sugar levels are in the prediabetic range.
You're 10 years late on saving your pancreas.

>>18188629
Soda and sweets are the easiest to drop. You basically want to reduce simple carbohydrates. Eat more whole grain products instead of white bread and noodles.
Also, start with exercise. Any form of cardio is good and will help you lose weight and raise insulin sensitivity in your body. If you're hambeast mode, start by taking walk and going longer every day.

DIABETES HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS, RISING BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS ARE JUST SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS AS A RESULT OF WHAT DIABETES ACTUALLY IS, WHICH IS BEING RESISTANT TO INSULIN

YOUR INSULIN IS NO LONGER ABLE TO BRING YOUR BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS BACK DOWN

THE PROBLEM IS NOT BLOOD SUGAR

IT IS YOUR RESISTANCE TO THE EFFECTS OF INSULIN

STOP EATING FOODS THAT CREATE INSULIN SPIKES IN YOUR BODY AND IT WILL ALLOW YOUR BODY TO HEAL ITSELF

UNIRONICALLY DO KETO FOR 3-6 MONTHS AND PRACTICE FASTING IN THE MIDDLE OF IT

STATISTICALLY YOUR DOCTOR'S ADVICE IS MORE LIKELY TO KILL YOU THAN MINE

>>18191075
unironically this is one of the few things keto is useful for, I think a lot of doctors do recommend keto to prediabetics, a lot of them won't follow it though.

>>18191075
>diabetes isn't about decreasing sugar intake, it's about decreasing sugar intake IN ALL CAPS
Self-Awareness: Zero.

>Eating red meat and processed meat, and drinking sugar-sweetened beverages, is associated with a higher risk of prediabetes

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/prediabetes/symptoms-causes/syc-20355278

I'm sorry OP, you should also eat less burgers and sausages

>>18191086
It's about insulin resistance you faggot. Measuring someone's blood sugar levels to detect diabetes is absolutely retarded because blood sugar levels will only look like a problem after the damage has already been done. It can take upwards of 10 years of eating garbage before your blood sugar levels start to be a problem.

And it's not "sugar" that's the problem, rather it's anything which increases insulin resistance. I cannot stress enough that it's insulin resistance which is the core central problem. I'm confident that insulin resistance is the root cause of some of the biggest killers in the west right now.

This.
Intermittent fasting. Cut all processed carbs. And start learning the glycemic index of foods you eat. You want as low as possible, preferably under 40 if not less. Be very VERY weary of (((zero calories zero sugar))) products cause most of them have other type of shit with insane GI like maltodextrin.
If you want something sweet then the only sweeteners you can use is stevia, erythritol and xylitol. And even those with measure.
Doing this 3 months now. Not easy but you get used to it. Plus without the retarded sugars and the fasting (I do 16-8) your energy levels skyrocket.
Good luck

Was a reply to the insulin anon

>>18191103
but I fucked up
Have a picture of my cat

I'm a type one diabetic which honestly should be called something different at this point cause it's my immune system that destroyed my insulin production, not being an insulin-resistant fatty like OP.

But the diet rules are the same. Keto anons are right

Low carb to no carb diet.
Cut out processed shit
Soda? Cut that shit out and drink diet soda if you must drink that goysyrup but enjoy your cancer. Drink water / coffee / unsweet tea faggot
Eat mostly protein and vegetables.
I aim to eat AT MOST 15g of carbs per meal. My a1c is 5.5.

>>18191165
There's also diabetes insipidus that makes you piss all the time too

>>18191173
Imagine the smell.

>>18188629
STOP EATING FATTY

>>18191191
That anon could be a skinnyfat for all we know. Those people are just as likely to get type 2 diabetes as a fatass.

>>18188629
just water fast until you're thin, your insulin will get sorted automatically

>>18191088
Nice try, vegan.

Unlimited meat diets cure diabetes.

>>18188629
Just fast and eat one meal a day. That should take care of the issue.

>go to doctor for diagnosis and just leave
>come to 4chan to ask for solution
Fucking idiot.Ask on tiktok or something

>>18191075
all this and the other keto anons have said

My biggest advice, kick this off with a 3 day water fast. You’re guaranteed to drop into ketosis (Buy a Ketojoy monitor if you’d like to see the proof) but more importantly you’re going to notice a few things:
- How often you have a weird compulsion to eat
- How sweet processed food is after the fact
- How much all that processed carb junk was fucking up your GI, etc

It’s tough. For the first month, I literally would walk over to my pantry, open it and stare like a fucking loser. I never realized what a pathetic simp-like relationship I had to goyslop. But then suddenly the mental clarity hits, you’ll feel more drive and aggression and energy and honestly, it’s glorious. I’ll back off Keto once I hit my goals, but this feels perfectly fine.


PS…eat veggies or else you’ll have hellish bowel movements.

>>18191761
Something I forgot to mention, keep meals simple. Try to have a shopping list of maybe 10 to 12 things at most. Simplicity is your friend in keeping to the path.

>>18188629
Just ignore your doctor and lose weight lmao

>>18188629
-No heavily processed food
-No sweetened drinks, coffee, tea, water only (maybe milk, but don't overdo it, kefir or fermented milk is a better choice)
-Minimize alcohol consumption
-No added sugar
-No white bread, white rice, etc
-Eat whole grains and fruits sparingly

Nobody, and I mean nobody who does this ever gets type 2 diabetes. Before sugar and garbage processed grains became widely available, type 2 diabetes was exclusively a disease of alcoholics.

>>18191086
Not really what he said, and what doctors typically advise is not keto even though evidence is increasingly pointing to most metabolic syndrome related issues in this country coming down to an excess of carbs and especially processed sugar in the diet. Most doctors basically advise people to get on the insulin roller coaster and send their patients into a slow and managed diabetic decline instead of a quick and catastrophic one.

>>18191088
I've never seen a quality study actually draw a clear link between red meat and any health issue. What they do is associate people who eat red meat with health issues. Because frankly the folks who eat a lot of red meat probably haven't paid attention to other health advice and also eat a lot of sugar, drink alcohol, smoke, etc. Nutrition studies seldom manage to convincingly control for other lifestyle differences.

Take the matchapill, it will solve all your problems.

>>18188629
Salt is bad for you. Google it. Salt makes you fat and diabetic.
Produce that is salted more than usual is obviously terrible for you. Like meat.
Here's the glycemic index, and why it should matter to you: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/glycemic-index-diet/art-20048478
Then glycemic load comes in: https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/food-beverages/glycemic-index-glycemic-load

tl;dr:
-Never skip breakfast, it kickstarts your bowels and biorythm/sleep pattern. Breakfast can be minuscule but should have lots of fiber
-Most fruit and veg is ok especially early in the day
-Supermarket bread, buns, patties and other cake like constructions are utter garbage
-Anything premade that comes prepackaged and has more than 5 ingredients listed is filth. Sauces, crips, chips, frozen pies/cakes/mussels/vegetables, soft drinks, you name it.
-Avoid foods that are typically consumed with this garbage, like meat, especially garbage meats that require lots of "gravy" or "sauce": turkey, pink slime/hamburger, barbecue.
-Buy fresh, buy daily, buy in season, buy directly, buy locally, from small producers. Make your own sauces, make your own bread, start fermenting.

>>18188629
Eat plenty of bread and rice. It will soak up the sugar and you will just shit it out.

>>18188629
Same thing happened to my friend. He balooned up to 280lbs and eats candy non-stop.... and he is in his mid-30s. All he had to due was eat healthy and cut out sugars (candy, soda, sweetened foods) and reduce fat intake. He outright refused and it literally dying from it. Food addiction is very real.

>>18192067
yeah i quit heroin and crack and replaced it with junk food and went from 160 to 220 lbs and now, 4 years later, i still can't get down below 200 because my brain's dopamine system is still fucked. fasting is the only thing that works but my willpower is too weak to stick with it

>>18188629
Keto. Not a meme. I'm a type 1 diabetic. About 10 years ago I got tired of the archaic "carb-counting" approach to my diet/insulin doseage regimen and went high-fat, very low-carb, moderate protien. My insulin sensitivity shot way up. I ended up using 30% less overall. My A1c went down a lot. I lost 20lbs of bodyfat over two years. I recommended it to older, fatter type 2 diabetics I know and the ones who did it completely reversed their diabetes.
