I have a few questions

[Guest guest]

Hello There

This is Brannon who just recently joined.

I have a few questions to ask that haven't yet been answered and I'd love to get

your input. Hope this isn't too lengthy.

1. Is it true if a person gets type 2 diabetes, and does not have a problem

with being over weight, but just gets it, that it might be more difficult to

control through an appropriate diet? This is what someone told me and I'm

wondering if your understanding is the same.

2. My husband is a chip junky, and is aware that carbs aren't good for him to

be eating now, so I was wondering what chrunchy snakcs you all suggest?

3. I am aware that the sugared cereals are not the best, but I was wondering

which cereals you enjoy that are best for you to eat as diabetics?

Thanks so much.

Hi ,

I don't eat cereal any more, but last time I checked Shredded Wheat and Spoon

Size Shredded Wheat seemed to be the healthiest choices out there. They have

the highest fiber content, and also have no added sugar. I also used to get

some high fiber low sugar cereals from the health food store, but they usually

had the flavor and texture of cardboard.

You don't have to be overweight to get type 2 diabetes, but being too heavy does

greatly increase the risk. I've known people who were never over weight and who

became diabetic in their 70s or 80s. It just seems to be one of the many things

that can happen to us as we age.

Dave,

How many carbs in a Ritz or saltine?

I concur that peanut butter on almost anything is great. Now, give Almond

butter a try, it is very good.

Yeah, I thought about what I said, wondering if it would come across wrong.

Home made as in, the opposite of pre-packaged peanut butter crackers. Good

old saltines or Ritz crackers, with chunky peanut butter.

Not sure how many carbs. 4 saltines, or 4 Ritz crackers, would probably be in

the neighborhood of 15-20 grams I would think. Everybody needs to find the

amount and type of snack that works for them, just as with meals. Consistency is

your best friend.

I want to thank you all for your responses to my questions. I understand the

Shredded Wheat is a healthy cereal, what do you think about the Kashi brand of

cereals, I understand they are also one of the highest in fiber?
