[QUOTE="kokhongw, post: 1417086, member: 277199"] Generally when we get diagnosed with T2D, it means we are unable to handle 75g glucose. So plan a meal that perhaps starts with 30-40g of carbs. Test after meals to see how different carbs affects you. That may be good enough to stabilize your glucose level, if not adjust accordingly till you get no more than 2 mmol increase after meal. The rationale for eating higher proteins or fats is that they help to reduce hunger and they don't demand/stimulate as much insulin as carbs. In fact, it is only when circulating insulin is lowered that we are able to utilize fats as alternative energy source. So if we already have a fair amount of fats stored, we don't need to eat as much...we simply want to guide/re-enable our body to access the fats store more effectively by lowering the insulin level.
