Been a diabetic for nearly two weeks I am still finding it hard to adjust to my new diet. I find food shopping quiet daunting too not sure on how many carbohydrates I can have still waiting to see a diabetic nurse.
You could change your way of looking at it tonot sure on how many carbohydrates
Its why many people find a carnivore diet easier. You don't really have to count carbs because you simply don't eat them. It's quite hard to get your head around at first but once started it gets a lot easier.Ok thank you for your help.
Try this one insteadWhen I started with the low carb, I found it easier to spend some time perusing food items online before I hit the supermarket - that way I was not left squinting at the tiny print on labels while simultaneously trying to wrangle the price bipper thingy, my bags, my specs onto my nose, all while attempting to maintain social distance!
It’s not the everyday foods that trip you up, you soon get your head around no potatoes, no pasta etc. But Sriracha - oh dear. In theory it would be fine despite its carb content, it’s a condiment not main ingredient, apparently. Who knew? I tend to use it with a heavy hand on just about everything, so that had to go!
There is a book by Dennis Pollock called 60 ways to lower your blood sugar. Brilliant book. That will help big time.
i saw your interview on his beat diabetes youtube channel, very relatable and inspiring to anyone newly diagnosed
pretty good channel dennis runs on diabetes.

I am newly diagnosed too. I've found this forum very helpful. I've bought the blood 8 week sugar diet recipe book (Michael Mosley), I've bought a blood glucose monitor and test before and then 2 hours after meals. The testing allows me to identify foods that cause spikes (e.g. Porridge is a no no for me) I'm avoiding carbs and finding good alternatives (see the what did you eat today post) and my blood glucose levels are really good now.Been a diabetic for nearly two weeks I am still finding it hard to adjust to my new diet.
