Rice and potatos are rich in carbohydrates and need insulin for metabolism i.e converting into energy.We diabetics are short in insulin supply and therefore it is essential that we cannot be liberal with carbohydrate rich foods.Eat as less as possible and with sufficient intervals between meals.

Regarding sugar free tablets,you can use in limited quantity ,not more than 5 per day.Avoid dishes which are sweetened with sugar free such as diet coke or sugar free cakes or jams.I follow this practice.Best avoid them.

a diabetic cant stop potato as its presence in body is impt the only thing to keep in mind is to either take less or mix with other vege like palak, ptagobi -----so that its sugar content get balance. in case rice option is either brown rice or the same i.e. mix with vege. as far as sugar free is concern i dont think so its needed and also after a certain period of time it may affect kidney

IT depend first of all on potato self as some potato r lready sweat enough to affect while others r tasteless or salty that never affect much.since the cost is more so whenever we r outside at some snacks or restaur they all prefer to use cheaper which they mix with some ingredi so that its not easy to judge . carbohydrate even little is must for body to sustain .

Sugarfree tablets from cadila is available in two forms.

1) sugarfree gold with aspertame

2) Sugarfree natura with sucralose.

Most of the people are using Sugarfree gold as it is costing less,

whereas Natura is costing more.

Internet results show that aspertame is dangerous to health and

sucralose is not that much.

stevia is also used by many people.Stevia is available in leaf or powder forms.

Being diabetic such carbohydrate rich food should basically be avoided to the extent possible. So called sugar free items too are not advisable as discussed much earlier in this forum. .

With LWMDR which cured my DM2, I was taking three carbohydrate meals daily, stomach full, of which one (lunch) was with rice & the other two with Long Wheat (Emmer Wheat); NO POTATOES OR ROOT/STARCHY VEGETABLES, NO FRUITS, NO SWEET - NATURAL OR SUGAR-FREE.

Yes you can have them in moderation without any problem. Modern diet plans actually include such carbohydrate & starch for better gut management. Quantity has to be limited. My personal experience with sucralose based sweeter has been good and far better than aspartame tablets with good tolerance. Liver toxicity however would be always be a relative subject. Talk to your doctor as well for a better advise.

I am a type 2 diabetic & taking rice twice daily but the quantity not exceeding 100 grams.potato occasionally,no sweets,one cup of tea with stevia as sugar substitute.One banana almost everyday but with lot of salad,veg & a cup of dal.Sugar is perfectly under control.But only with elopathic medicines.

All sugar free substitutes are bad. Some are known to be carcinogenic so they must be avoided.

I fully agree with this view. Few commonly used Sugar free are given below with their details.

Saccharin no. E954 - A synthetically manufactured sweetener - Potential links to being a carcinogen -- Potential Danger.

Sorbitol - Commercially manufactured from Glucose - E420 Limited risk in the concentrations used in the food industry. However higher doses have laxative effect and can also cause bloating and flatulence from as little as 5 gms. in some people. - It is Potentially Unsafe.

Steviol Glycosides --E960 No side effect information available for this additive. - Risks Unknown.

Sucralose - E955 - A synthetically manufactured sweetener. A number of Potential Physiological health risks. - Potential Danger

Aspartame - E951 - A synthetically manufactured sweetener. A whole range of symptoms including asthama, allergies and migraines. - Potentially Unsafe.

Yes it is possible to take normal diet with some sweets included if you are taking ayurvedic herbal medicines. i have come across this ayurvedic supplement which has shown positive results in two of my own friends besides many other under scientific tests and research. You may write to me at buildhealth@hotmail.com for more details

surely; if he is not over weight. The Rice known as SHALI is very good indeed.

as far as suger free is concerned I will suggest to avaoid if possible because you will have gastric troubles on consumption of SF.believe me it is a matter of only few days to get used of sugerless dreinks and food.

try what is recently debated on health unlock reagarding cure of diabetes in 15 days.

with a little bit of change in life style and punctual exsercise you can get rid of diabetes for life time.write me on my e-mail : roumi@dr.com It is a challenge that you will get out of it in 6 months to one year time span.

caution :

NO OFFERS OF ANY FEE OR MONETORY OR OTHER RETURN IS EXPECTED.

IT IS IN THE NAME OF LORD DHANWANTARY.
