I have no idea how big these are but that seems a bit high to me for a sausage but not crazy high. It really depends on how many carbs per day you want to eat and what your system can handle. I have not had any trouble finding 0 carb sausages but I am in Canada.

I eat these. 7g of carbs for two grilled seems to be only a small amount of carbs to me unless you are going ultra low carb.

Ok cool, how are you doing low carb how many carbs do you aim for in each meal or through out the day and what snacks do you have.

I don't count carbs, but try to be as low carb as possible.

During the week, for breakfast I have a one egg cheese omelette and for lunch I have a salad with mayonnaise. At the weekend I do intermittent fasting, so skip breakfast and just eat at lunchtime. I have cut out breakfast cereals, bread, rice, potatoes and pasta. I typically only eat berries for fruit, but do have double cream on my strawberries.

For snacks I eat nuts. Walnuts are good as they have lots of omega3. I also snack on babybel cheese. Occasionally I have a couple of squares of Lindt 90% dark chocolate. I did try the 100% Montezuma chocolate, but that is just too bitter.

I found that porridge raised my blood sugar to over 10, so I stopped eating that. Having a blood glucose meter is useful in finding which foods spike your blood sugar. On diagnosis my blood sugars were around 13, but by going low carb they are now around 5-6. I have recently stopped taking metformin as my last HbA1C was 44, down from 99 at diagnosis.

Oh that's so good how you dropped it I don't know what my HbA1C is yet.

Heck sausages do a chicken sausage and also beef and pork sausages which are 98% meat and less than 3carbs per 2 sausages for the chicken variety
