If you could be cured of diabetes for 24 hours, what would you eat?
I would start with stuffed french toast and orange juice at IHOP for breakfast. For a morning snack I would have an Icee and nachos from seven-eleven. For lunch I would go to Red Lobster and eat a double portion of the coconut shrimp with pina colada sauce followed by their vanilla bean cheesecake. For dinner on to a great Chinese restaurant and eat sweet and sour chicken and pork and noodles and lots of fried rice. Finally I would top the day off with a piece of my brothers homemade chocolate silk pie. All of these are foods I haven’t touched since I was diagnosed five years ago. How about you?
I don’t touch those foods anymore because I used to eat them all the time and I also weighed 70 lbs more than I do now. Also, I can never handle rice especially fried, it just makes my blood sugar climb way too much.

Milkshakes, slurpees, and a whole lot of alcoholic drinks that I have never really tried. You know, the ones with coconut, and pineapple and such things. I’d probably want to go to a really good buffet, and just try everything.
Ahhhh….if only.
I’d probably eat what I usually eat, I learned a long time ago that I don’t LIVE to eat, I eat to LIVE.
Why haven’t you touched those foods? So long as you don’t overdo it you can have any one of those foods in moderation. You are being way way to strict about your diet and need to moderate a bit on it. Watching your carbs is just as important as watching out for excess sugar. In the nursing home I work at we have what is called No Concentrated Sweet diets for our diabetics. They get a half portion of regular desserts at all meals but get the same of other foods except we use sugar free jelly and syrup etc for them.
Any and everything sweet and chocolatey.
I was diagnosised 4 years ago. and that was only by mistake. they found it when taking care of a kidney stone…
Your breakfast is right on.
Someplace in the day a deep-dish pizza.
My ex-wife’s apple pie.

Chocolate!!!!! Lots and Lots of CHOCOLATE!!!!! I don’t care if its chocolate cake, ice cream, milk or candy bars. I miss my CHOCOLATE!!!!!! I have a problem with Low-Sugar and when I was told that (after passing out driving, THANK GOD my Hubby was there to grab the wheel) we thought I just needed to carry around Butterfingers, my fav. Boy were we wrong. I found out the hard way that eating processed and not "natural" sugar my sugar spikes for 15-20 min and then drops even lower. It was only a quick and quite temp fix.
Pizza, regular soda, and then ice cream! But as a diabetic, I have to settle for scraping the pizza toppings off, diet soda, and 1/2 cup sugar free ice cream instead.
my sister’s homemade carrot cake and my mom’s chicken fried steak with gravy and mashed potatoes and her Pianola cake and my husbands seafood Alfredo white a lot of thick white sweet sauce.
Can’t you get more insulin just for one day and eat all that stuff.Just one day in six months eat the things that you miss the most.Then go for a long walks,ot bike ride.
Me?? I’ve learned my lesson.
I would continue to eat the same things I’m eating now. My health hasn’t been this good in twenty years. Despite what folks seem to believe about diabetes, I heal quickly, my blood sugar is easy to manage, my weight is down, and I feel great.
Now why would I want to goof all that up?
Be sure not to deprive yourself ever of some of the good things in life!!
I plan in "cheats"!! Over the weekend I had one Tom Thumb donut rolled in cinnamon sugar, 1/4 of a Funnel Cake with powder sugar, and 6 french fries!! I did have to give over on some other things like a slice of toast with my eggs for breakfast and the croutons on my dinner salad!!
Thing is, if we deprive ourselves, we get the craving for a thing like that. Planning makes it possible to have birthday cake and ice cream!!
I know I can never eat more than a spoonful of rice, but that spoonful is great!!
Tex-Mex from Pulido’s. And Red Lobster. And Olive Garden! Makes my mouth water.
There is no reason why you cant eat those foods in moderation. My son has type 1 diabetes and his food intake is not totally restricted. We do Carboydrate counting and if he has 100gms of Carbs he has 10 units of insulin {novorapid}. This doesnt mean that he can "pig out" whenever he wants, just like anyone he watches his diet.
