[QUOTE="Cryssi_Rawr, post: 1486226, member: 410587"] Thank you for the comment [USER=94045]@Bluetit1802[/USER] I appreciate the answer. My responses are currently waiting approval when I hit reply, so you may only see my response to AMIS1874 afterwards. I have looked into the carbs, and for now I will take the nurses' advice to try to aim at [B]max[/B] of 40g of carbs per meal. However, I will definitely look into a carb-free breakfast option, which would reduce my total carb for the day at 80g if I hit the max (as I mention earlier, I seem to steer away from them naturally except on occasion. I cook a lot, so this helps). I am currently mostly eating 1% fat cottage cheese, which has 10g of carbs, so I will perhaps try for a full week to have a carb-free breakfast and see how it affects my BG. Eggs ahoy! I'm honestly glad I can test like this, it gives me a good feeling of control over the situation. So far, from my testing, I am within range when I eat a maximum of 40g of carb for meals like lunch, or dinner. The "range" I'm currently trying to maintain is between 7 and 10mmol (I think that's the correct acronym?) 2 hours after meals. So far, that has been par for the course, if not lower, after those two meals. I've read another study that also suggested a LCHProtein snack before breakfast to lower the impact of higher BG. That will be also on my testing table. Science! [/QUOTE]
