Start one meal at a time. Rome wasn't built in a day and you are not going to magically transform your diet overnight either.

You've been hearing for a long time to eat more vegetables and less beef. Eat more fish.

Diabetes means that you do not have the ability to store excess carbs nor do you have the insulin to be able to use carbohydrates in anything but tiny amounts. Your body just can't do it.

We have learned so much in the last 2 years about diabetes. We know that it is NOT just about your Beta Cells, but is also about the health of your gut and the health of your liver. So, the bottom line is that you have not eaten good nutritious food for a while and it is now important that you start thinking about what goes into your body. Empty calories are not something you can afford any more.

You must do some type of exercise, even if all you can do at first is 5 minutes a day until you build up to 1 hour a day.

Eat more nutritious food
Eat food that has a lot of fiber
Eat good lean protein from meat, bird, fish, pork, eggs
Eat whole dairy preferably organic to avoid antibiotics and bovine growth hormone
Enjoy Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Virgin unrefined Coconut Oil
Eat more nuts like walnuts, almonds, pecans, pistachios
Eat more avocados and berries

Avoid any food that has "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated" in the ingredient list as this is one of the reasons your liver is sick
Avoid any food with "high fructose corn syrup", corn syrup, fructose, or corn syrup solids in the ingredient list
Avoid any food with MSG, monosodium glutamate in the ingredients
Avoid any food that has soybean, cottonseed, canola, safflower, sunflower, corn, or vegetable oil in it
Avoid Crisco
Avoid any food that has "enriched" anywhere
Avoid all foods that are fried at any type of restaurant.

If you do this, you will be eating so much better and you will start to heal your body and make your body less inflamed and more insulin sensitive.
