Hi All
I have recently been diagnosed Type 2, but only take a statin and no other meds for it (at least for now). Insulin resistance was briefly mentioned so that might be my 'type' if that's a thing. I'm still working out which part of the forum is 'for me'. My home sugar test was 7.8 before eating anything this morning. The machine seems to say that's 'orange'. Which part of this forum is best for me to be part of?
My food question is: from many different recipe websites and diabetes information locations I've found so far, many give conflicting Carb numbers on what foods are 'ok'. Varying from carrots is ok to not ok. Wholewheat bread or pasta is ok or not. Basmati rice is the best/worst rice to use for the lowest carbs. Is there a reliable location for finding what carbs/sugars foods contain?
