If you are "type II," you should try a little nutritional yeast with
each meal. Biochemist Ray Peat has mentioned that his father was told
in the 1930s (by his doctor) that he had diabetes and should go on a
"brewer's yeast diet," which cleared the problem up in a month or so.
However, you must get the free radical damage down, and this means no
more food with more than trace amounts of unsaturated fatty acids.
Butter is okay, coconut oil is better, but make sure they are fresh.
Dark chocolate, berries, and white tea would be good to eat as well.
Cheese is fine, as long as it's not homogenized, so stay away from "low
fat," "no fat" stuff. Breyer's Natural Vanilla ice cream is good too.
About a teaspoon of nutritional yeast with each meal should be good.
Let me know how things turn out, but do not "cheat" and eat the wrong
things. If you need "meat" boiled eggs and boiled shellfish are not
just okay, but good, while fish and chicken are problematic. White
fish with little fat content is okay, but remember to boil it. Do not
cook while exposed to air. You can boil food that needs it, then warm
it up in a pan with herbs, spices, butter, sherry, whatever.
