[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2574879, member: 196898"] Many of us use the dietdoctor website for low carb info or this forum Low Carb section.. If you use Dr Google, then try "carbs in xxx" or "XXX nutrition". There are phone apps that you can use too. The main criteria to use is carbs per 100g or carbs % Anything above 5% needs curtailing either in portion size or avoid. I would advise getting a bgl meter and keeping a food log as an essential tool for any diabetic. ~The meters are cheap - its the test strips that are the main expense. You will probably need to fund it yourself. As a general rule, CHO up to around 30g a day is regarded as a ketosis type diet, and up to 150 a day is Low Carb. At the HbA1c and weight you are at, you do not need ketosis diet. Mainly cut down on starchy foods, processed foods. Eat above ground veg, less root veg. There are other diet style you could consider, but ones like Newcastle Diet are only suitable for high BMI people. I use a low carb variant of the Mediterranean diet, but I also use a small amount of medication so I can tolerate higher carb intake. We are all different, and what suits me will differ from what you use. The food log would help you find your pathway. [/QUOTE]
