You are overly, and erroneously, concerned that you won't eat enough food and will end up getting hungry later and binge on sweets.
All you have to do is eat smaller, healthier meals that are lower in carbohydrates and fats. Wait.
If hours go by and you feel your blood sugar dropping, eat one small snack.
They have devices now that you can wear on your arm, like patches, that will send your blood sugar reading directly to your phone, so you don't have to keep pricking your finger.
Having diabetes is dangerous enough as it is, but eating the foods you do, and in the quantities that you do, and as often as you do, and given that you've stopped
ALL
of your medication, – all of these things are very dangerous for you, Christina. Do you understand the dangerous repercussions?
It's okay for you to get hungry. It's not going to hurt you to let your stomach empty itself out before stuffing it with food again. You don't have to eat so much all the time that you're always stuffed. In fact, that is not healthy for you or anyone else.

Same. With whole fruit, you get the fibre as well which slows down the sugar absorption. Plus, the time it takes to eat fruit means you're only eating 1/2 - 1 piece of fruit. When someone drinks a glass of fruit, they're consuming several pieces of fruit without the fibre. That's a total sugar dump into your system. Very unhealthy.

I don't drink juice. I eat the whole fruit.
A smoothie doesn't count as
"juice"
?
I liked your "

" in that other thread.

I've heard etcetera is high in vitamin C and fiber! (A member of the alfalfa family if I'm not mistaken)
Oh, I thought etcetera is a member of the Miri-Clan.

Well, Alfalfa sounds good too…yah, I know what Alfalfa is.
Mistakenly I constantly call the Miri-Clan the Mimi-Clan.
If I continue like that, don't need to care about healthy food much longer.
