Jackjo how bad does a small amount of bread or rice spike you? I'm a T2 I work out 3 times a week and low carb most of the time, and have recently found i can actualy eat small amounts of bread, rice and pasta without any problems at all, the trick that works for me is to balance the small...

I could'nt agree more, i used to menu plan based on carbs, lo carbing has made me focus on a much wider range of food, and i'm loving it, i'm eating loads of thai, north african and mediteranean food, restrictive on carbs? Maybe, but i'm spoilt for choice and texture. B-) Sent from the Diabetes...

I found out i was a type 2, about 6 weeks ago, hang on in there its a hell of a shock to start with, it gets easier to cope and understand, you are far from alone, trust me its nowhere near as bad as it seems right now, in a few days things will start to fall into place, Sent from the Diabetes...
