Information On Type 2 Diabetes

Can you answer Sue’s question about Diabetes?:

My 40-year-old brother has adult-onset diabetes. He is recently divorced and has never had to prepare his own meals before now. He doesn’t like to sit down and read, but wants to choose healthier foods. He’s looking for a simple book that will tell him don’t eat these foods, do eat these foods.

He doesn’t really cook, so an elaborate cookbook would not be appropriate. (He almost always eats with family and friends instead.)

Snacks are a problem though. For example, he doesn’t yet understand that although orange juice is healthy for many people, it’s high in sugar.

Any ideas are welcome. He took an all-day hospital diabetes/nutrition class, but found it overwhelming. He wants to eat better. He also has high blood pressure. He grew up eating unhealthy foods and never learned to eat well.

Diabetes Tips

Can you answer kimpenn09’s question about Diabetes?:

My cat recently had a health scare that required abdominal surgery to remove an obstruction. While they were diagnosing him, they found his blood glucose was 175. The vet is not too concerned. He drinks a lot, and he was on steroids for about a year and a half, but hasn’t taken them for almost two years–but she says the levels are not that high to be concerned. Any input? I’d hate to think he went through all that surgery only to find out he’s diabetic–and I don’t really have the $$$$ to test him now.
He was on prednisone but hasn’t taken it in a year and a half. . . I think if it was going to make him sick, it would have already, right? And the vet said the high glucose may have been from the stress of being sick and throwing up so much.
