Hi, I've been diagnosed T2 this week, but have been LCHF for a month now as soon as I realised a diagnosis was likely.
I have resorted to eating a bit of salmon and tuna to increase my protein options which feel quite small so far; tofu, plain soya yogurt, eggs, eggs and more eggs and houmous. I also use a small amount of feta/goat's cheese because I'm cow's milk intolerant, and drink almond milk.
All the options I used to enjoy seem too high carb to risk at the moment - I made a low GI chickpea curry and then realised it was 40g of carbs a portion - I'm trying to stick to 50-60g a day. I love lentils but feel they will be a 'carby' choice too.
I have ordered a meter so next week will be able to check whether pulses etc spike me, which I suspect they will, but in the meantime what have you found works for you so far? Thanks.
