Uh-oh. Lots of any kind of food especially fruit is not advisable for
type 2 diabetics.

Those who are using the diabetic 2PD-OMER Approach would have kept
their lunch at the same amount in terms of weight even with the
inclusion of apricots.

Eating healthy thereby being healthier increases hunger, which is one's
healthy appetite.

In truth, the reason you ate one was because of how you were dealing
with being hungrier.

You were so bothered by your hunger that you decided unconsciously that
you would not put up with it and proceeded to eat to drive it away.

Not a surprise.
Anyone can overeat to the point of elevating their blood glucose
inordinately.

Actually, you need to befriend your hunger. The healthier you become,
the hungrier you will be. Again, hunger is a healthy appetite.
Three truths about hunger:
(1) No one has every died from hunger. People do die from starvation.
People dying from starvation are **not** hungry.
(2) "Hunger is the best pickle (seasoning)" -- Benjamin Franklin
(3) Hunger is a healthy person as a canary is to a coal miner. If you
lose your hunger without eating more, there is something wrong (cancer,
AIDS, tuberculosis, et cetera).
In truth, hunger is a blessing:
"Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied." -- LORD
Jesus Christ (Luke 6:21)
"The laborer's appetite works for him; his hunger drives him on." --
King Solomon (Proverbs 16:26)

Yes... thank and praise HIM always. Laus Deo !
> I have got to portion the fruit out only a little per day. And leave the pudding for my son.
Would suggest you ask your doctor(s) to supervise your use of the
diabetic 2PD-OMER Approach.

When you find yourself unable to put up with your hunger in between
smaller meals, it would be wise for you to find things to do instead of
things to eat. Let your work be your food instead of snacks outside of
meals.
"My food is to do the will of HIM who sent ME and to finish HIS work."
-- LORD Jesus Christ (John 4:34)
> Cucumbers?
No. Work.
> Fresh broccoli with Caesar dressing for dip?
No. Work.
> What am I going to do with all that fruit?
Take them to your local homeless shelter.

Depends on how much you are already eating.

Again, take them to your local homeless shelter.
May Christ Jesus' peace be with you, dear neighbor Julana.

You're a very sick fuck, Chung. We should all pray for you so you get
worse. (Recently proven)
