What foods do you NOT eat because of your condition? Does it help?

I stay away from foods that are high in sodium content, I also stay away from trans and saturated fat foods. The rare thing I eat with saturated fats is eggs, but not much do I eat those. I also do not eat red meat anymore and very very seldom eat fried foods.

fried foods, red meat, excess sodium, soda, and high fat content food.

I stay away from high fat foods, red meat (and even poultry and fish I try to keep it to once a week) and ALL SUGAR. Can't even have a piece of cake without getting a flare up. It's terrible :(

Basically I avoid anything good 

No but more seriously, like everyone else said, I try to reduce meat intake where i can and focus on whole foods. It's just easier for me if I make all my food so that way I know i'm getting whole grains, good vegetables, etc.

Its been a while since we talked last, but this summer, post covid, has really gotten me thinking about all this stuff again. I was eating right and doing what I was supposed to for a long time. But now being out and about in summer days really makes it hard. I go to BBQs now and potlucks and I'm out of my normal routine.

Any helpful advice on getting back on track? Has anyone else found this summer harder to stick to a helpful diet, more than normal?

I stay away from food that is high in salt content. I do this because not only have diabetes, I also have congestive heart failure.
