My question, however, concerns my dad. He was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes after my diagnosis. He is 69 years old. His doctor has told him to remove carbohydrates from his diet completely and to eat nothing but vegetables and meat. My husband also has Type 2 diabetes and has been controlling it with diet for 15 years.
Carbohydrates provide the body with energy.
You are on the right track. Please relay the information you have to your dad. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes when I was 24 years old. For the initial year, I was just exercising and avoiding direct intake of sweet products. In the past year, I did not visit the doctor.
