BG - I have quit the candy all together - even sugar free, and i have quit the juice as well. When i woke up yesterday morning my fasting was 365.
Sorbital causes the runs if you have more than 2 a day anyhow, sot here isn't really any point to haivng it around. Splenda causes a lot of diabetic's sugar to go up, and aritificial sweateners aren't good for you.
Your body is under enough stress with the quit - no sense in adding to it with a bunch of crap that you don't need. Take the purist approach - seriously. Water Water Water Water for detoxing. Vegies for the munching, and monito your blood sugar a LOT - everything is going to change now, so find out what your body is doing - write it down - your meds may have to be changed. Luckily I have insuline on hand, and have taking it since I found that 365 ysterday morning.
Doctors don't know the first thing about nutrition - if they did, they wouldn't precribe all the pills they do for diet related illness. I overheard my doctor telling a new diabtic that he could have apples and stay away from strawberries - he didn't even know that strawberries are the lowest in sugar of any fruit and apples are the highest.
