[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1876578, member: 41816"] [USER=490105]@Lily1042[/USER] Hi and welcome! :) Believe me, switching to low carbing needn't be torture, and it needn't be stressful. :) Oh, and you needn't go hungry either! Regarding reducing your 'eating window' - yes, it can make a huge difference to us type 2s. But don't force it. Many of us find that once we have been eating lower carb for a while (days, weeks, months, varies for each of us) we naturally find that our hunger levels change and we don't need to eat so often. In my case, I kept forgetting to eat breakfast. It took no will power whatsoever :D If you are interested in the science stuff of how and why we should be keeping our blood glucose low and steady, then try [URL='http://www.bloodsugar101.com']www.bloodsugar101.com[/URL] and if you want the nuts and bolts of how to eat low carb, then you can't do better than [URL='http://www.dietdoctor.com']www.dietdoctor.com[/URL] and this link gives a really quick intro [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/60-seconds[/URL] And just as a final comment: we have members on this forum with several different types of diabetes (type 1, type 2, type 3c...) and each different type requires different handling.
