Hi everyone, one of my relatives is 40 years old who had bladder cancer a couple of years ago, but now recovered. He does smoke, but currently trying to quit. His diet is fairly good. Anyway, we are both very interested in a healthy diet and we would like to make whatever changes are needed to bring about optimum health. What kind of diet do we consider? And do you have additional information on the diet?

Your relative needs to stop smoking as soon as possible. Inducing carbon monoxide into the blood stream is a bad thing on so many levels.

Most of us, here with diabetes, use the carb counting method for diet and control. More vegetables and less carbs is a big plus for us. Take a look at the first three (3) threads in the Type 2 Section when you get a chance. This information is good for anyone and especially those with Type 2 Diabetes. You may wish to check the Food and Recipes Section, as well, for ideas on things to eat. Good luck in your search.
