[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1535942, member: 355878"] Having used low carb to reduce my weight and keep it stable for a long time I was not at all surprised to have confirmation from my meter that the foods I had been persuaded to eat to 'lower cholesterol', all the ones which stopped me losing weight, are precisely those which put up my blood glucose, I started out trying to eat so as not to go over 8mmol/l. and sorted out meals which were equivalent to a 2 whole number rise. After a few weeks eating the same things I was getting down closer to 7 after meals, and did not bother testing as much. When I did test - just to see if I should eat dessert or not, I found that I was dropping ever lower. Although there is always the advice that diabetes is long term, I dropped down below diabetic level - Hba1c of 91 to 47 in 80 days, as low carb is so effective for me. Whole grain carbs are still just carbs as far as my metabolism is concerned - but the triangular protein rolls from Lidl are OK for me and have replaced bread, though I do not eat them every day - they freeze well though so I buy them when I can get them - they are popular - and have them in the freezer for those days when I'd like a sandwich. I try to remember to cut them in half first, as they can take time to thaw. [/QUOTE]
