I've been Thankspe 2 for 30+ years. I lost 90 lbs 12 years ago on WW but the past few years since I became insulin dependent, some of it has crept back WW is a great program for diabetics. Make yourself familiar with the glycemic index and eat free and low points foods which are low on that index. That tells you what may and may not raise your blood sugar based upon how the food metabolizes. You don't have to cut out potatoes, breads and all white foods, but you do have to limit them both in frequency and amount. I usually eat one or two servings of 'white foods' every single day. A medium potato is very do-able . a one pound monster is not. A cup of pasta is not the same as a bowl of pasta. Moderation in serving sizes is key to keeping your sugars at a healthy level. There are now low carb breads that are white and you really can't tell the difference between them (647 brand) and WonderBread. It takes some doing, but we aren't as limited as we have been in past decades. I usually try to "stay green" . I eat lots of everything green. Then I add fruits to it (my favorites), white meat chicken and plenty of things ilke lentils, beans, etc (which are all zero points). I don't really like beef or pork so I don't bother wasting points on them. You can do this! And in the process, if you get familiar with that glycemic index, you'll be able to do great.
