[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1481819, member: 94045"] Hi and welcome, Great to see you have picked up a low carb diet, and also that you are testing your blood sugars. Are you testing before and 2 hours after meals in order to find the right diet for you? Keeping a food diary including portion sizes and recording your before and after levels alongside can be a great help. You can see for yourself how your body reacts to certain foods and be able to reduce or eliminate these foods. If the rise from before to after is more than 2mmol/l there are too many carbs in that meal. Ideally the rise should be under 1.5mmol/l. For me, feeling positive came with lowered blood sugars and weight loss. I record all these things and this was (still is) my motivation - I am competitive with myself. My diagnosis in 2014 was the kick up the bum I needed and I have never looked back. [/QUOTE]
