Okay, here's the thing. I don't have diabetes, but I just found out about a month ago that I am extremely allergic to all types of sugar, honey, oranges, calcium propionate, pyrene, benzyl acetate, yellow #5, and a few other minor things. Now, since having to take out sugar from my diet immediately I never had a chance to fully prepare for this big change in lifestyle, and my mom won't let me go to a dietition for more help. I was wondering if any of you had some good home-made, sugar-free foods you could recommend.
Look! There's a new Diabetes community description :D
Let me know what you guys think and if it properly identifies the difference between Type 1, Type 2 and Pre-diabetic.
I would like the description of this community a lot more if it said something about including both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics or else changes the phrase "naturally low levels of insulin" to... something else. Type 1s produce NO insulin whatsoever (as opposed to T2s who produce at least some) because our immune system killed our islet cells. Might seem like nitpicking, but most of the T1s I know get frustrated when we are left out of descriptions or lumped in with T2s.
