[QUOTE="JenniferW, post: 914075, member: 191472"] I was diagnosed T2 in May, and am now around 6 weeks into my major changeover to a low carb diet. I was on what i thought was a healthy diet before, and have been surprised at just how much carbohydrate it included. You're planning to include a lot of things that for now, I've cut right out. My levels are only slowly coming down, and I'm glucose monitoring, so I know exactly how slow they're coming down! I have no cereal of any sort, including things like pasta and rice. Almost no fruit, and when I do have some, it's the low-carb fruits (so never bananas, for example). Never any fruit juice. I've got caught out - was out walking yesterday (i.e. doing something GOOD for me), and mid afternoon was horribly hungry despite a good packed picnic lunch. The only non-sweet thing I could buy in a cafe was a sandwich, so I went for tuna. I know I'll get caught out and can't always plan for all eventualities. But for now, I tell myself - and friends and family - this is better than going blind, having my kidneys pack up, etc. Most of them have no idea what the complications of diabetes are, so I do dramatise, and in a funny way it helps me along, too.
