I am sorry, I seem to have misinterpreted the topic in this thread. You are the OP and in your first post you indicate that you are seeking to lower your carb intake. You are also using Trulicity and not the orals as shown in your profile, which also mentions that you stopped Forxiga in 2019. However, you are defending your current diet and not open to suggestions where it might still be a relatively high carb intake, whereas your signature indicates you know about the 20g per day used by many doing low carb as an upper daily limit. Yet you seem happy with 4 chocolate drinks at 4 g each on top of your meal, so this is probably where your extra carbs are coming into your food chain. I cannot help you since it is not clear what you are seeking from this thread.
Bit harsh an answer from you to be honest.
Actually I wasnt asking about how to lower my carb intake lower overall. As a rule my sugars are very well maintained on a day to day level anyway. not perfect and some days are better than others. Pre all this I was managing figures less than 8 most days after meals. they were usually quite stable and not swinging much. What I eat works and I have been eating those foods for a while. I tend not to mix it up because I know what works. It’s when I change things that things go wonky. I was asking for ideas on going super low carb because my sugars are playing up at the moment, I’m not perfect and with all the nonsense thrown at us this year there have been times that I have struggled. There have been times when I tried something new and it didn’t work and I had to work really hard to get back to controlling my sugars. Before Xmas they were fantastic, y diet was fantastic. Apologies if I am a bad diabetic and I make mistakes. We can’t all be perfect.
I don’t think you can say I have not welcomed suggestions given I have used some fo the suggestions but I also know what works for me and what doesn’t. I don’t like the idea of fasting but it turns out most weekends if I’m not working I do fast because I don’t usually eat breakfast.
My original post was to get some ideas as to what I could eat short term to try and kick start my sugars to go down. My diet this week has not been my usual one as I was eating maybe 4 g of carbs a day and nothing really changed. My question was not about my diet overall, it was simply ideas for foods that would allow me to go as close to zero as possible, it didn’t really help anyway to be honest because my sugars didn’t really change all that much.
I didn’t really expect to Feel like I’ve been told off and even more stressed than I already was. My question was very clear as everyone else that made suggestions were very helpful and supportive, reason I responded to your question is because in all honesty you completely confused me. Surely a carb figure of 100g isn’t relevant if I’m not eating anywhere near that amount. If the chicken coating is 7.9 per 100g than if I only have 10g that’s only 0.7 g which is very low levels of carbs. So I’m not sure how you are saying I am eating high intake of carbs, I may not quite be keto at 20g but I am usually under 3O and I can’t see how that is anywhere near high intake of carbs. Me asking you a question isn’t me being awkward it’s me being confused,
I’m not sure how that is me refusing help.
I have taken my injection tonight and hopefully tomorrow my sugars will drop or at least start to drop.
