So the consensus is that it is not to do with sugar intake? It is more about maintaing a healthy weight? 

As I am more then happy to ditch cakes and sweets. 

I will now try and excercise more, eat more veg and fruit. Lose weight and avoid carbs such as chapatis rice and pasta.

carbs are ok , processed fat laden ones not so  much , eating just at mealtimes will naturallyreduce numbers of insulin spikes per day , eat once a day then only one spike . Intermittent fasting and OMAD are useful tools to bring body's insulin to heel along with resistance training will increase insulin sensitivity again

As part of a low carb/sugar diet don't touch 'diet' drinks with sugar substitutes. There is plenty of research that they mess up your body even more. They trigger your body to expect 'sugar' (so the body releases hormones and mechanisms to process that sugar) but when the body doesn't find the sugar the feedback loop gets broken and then you seek 'proper' sugar to compensate.

To avoid diabetes (type 2) you need to match your calories to your activity (if overweight lose weight), also avoid Carbs (substitute for low carb alternatives i.e. potatoes for things like Celeriac ). Carb/Starchy foods are broken down into sugar by the body and modern 'wheats', 'rices' etc have been bred for high energy yields. If you get Type2 the only way to reverse it is to radically drop your calorie intake over a prolonged period of time, this will reset the body (once again lots of medical literature on how 'fasting' can reverse type2)

In type 2 pancreas are still producing some insulin, so if you have tiny amounts of sugar it won’t raise your blood glucose to dangerous levels. Don’t avoid rice, chappaties, potatoes, couscous or pasta altogether as your body needs these for energy, but try to reduce their portions. Remember, all foods contain carbs. Even vegetables once cooked change into carbs and you know fruits are also carbs. So, it’s not just sugar that contributes to increased BG but also bread, fruits, nuts, (cashews) alcohol too much dairy and certain veges, such as carrots, corn and pumpkin.

it is an ancient disease talked about in greek and vedic writings

That must mean it is pretty ancient and not something new. I heard there is alot of diabetes in India as they eat very unhealthy. Not to mention drink copious amounts of pepsi and fizzy drinks and they have not come across the concept of diet drinks or sugar free food. 

Ie in the uk there is a big choice of sugar free foods. But In india they dont have this.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
