[QUOTE="Art Of Flowers, post: 1515509, member: 375067"] 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. [/QUOTE]
