"Eat like a diabetic ..."
Good way to put it, Maryanne - and good topic.
My husband is a diabetic and I have been eating mostly as he does for about 20 years - plus my diet was not too bad before that!
I always ate a lot of fresh foods, what ever it was, and very little processed. My hubby is French and it was a long battle to get him used to more healthy bread than the "French styrofoam" he wanted, otherwise the French way of eating is definitely more healthy than typical American.
For me, I think diet was not the cause of my cancer, unless it was toxins in the foods as I did not eat organic until 4 years ago.
I DO recall, however, that in the weeks prior to my diagnosis I was craving more sweets. I wanted to drink those SOBE drinks that do have a lot of sugar, or make spritzers with ginger ale. And I craved those chocolate covered graham crackers. Things I always liked on occasion but not to the point that I wanted to go to the store just to get those items!
Guess it was the cancer ramping up as it was on the march through my lymph nodes.
AS for fruit, I have always lived in a region with plentiful fresh fruit and ate my share but not too much.
