I have a meter and often check my blood before and after meals and never rises more than 2mmol...I exercise regular to help increase insulin sensitivity...not everyone has too cut carbs so low, some do Keto, some have under 70/80g some have around 100g or a bit more. I know if slimming world...

I too follow slimming workd for weight loss, but I simply don’t eat all the free pasta, potatoes and rice you want, I find I can have little portions of rice and wholewheat/lentil pasta with plenty of veggies, fruits and healthy fats and protein....I sometimes use my syns for healthy fats like...

Thanks!, I will have to try the Waitrose one....I did weigh and one serving out which was 75g and to be honest I was quite full so next time I’ll at least take a third away as it was extremely filling....at the moment I’m too trying to have as much variety in my diet and not to spike blood sugar...

I used my meter last night to check...my fasting reading was 5.5, after an hour it was 6.3, after two hours 7 and then after 3 hours 5.9.....so it never went Above 2 mmol, do you think my body responded well to it?

From doing a lot of research I’ve read that lentils, beans and pulses are better carbs as it has high fibre which doesn’t spike blood sugars, I saw at work we do a red lentil fussili, all it contains is red lentils and water and has 19g protein per portion, 44g carbs, 0.9g fat... Is this a much...

No I do t ususally eat aero or standard size chocolate bars, I ususally go for the little treat size ones as i know they don’t affect my bs going sky high

Everyone is just different I guess, I don’t tend to eat a lot of sweet things or carbs, I don’t find I crave carbs but if I sometime fancy brown rice or wholewheat pasta I will have some but no more than half a cup, I find I feel more satisfied and don’t feel like I’m gonna Raid all the carb...

That’s great you’ve maintained it for 5 years, proves what you doing is working....I have a long way to go, but whatever doesn’t work I will change

That’s great, and well done on just getting it reversed! I eat some of the similar things to you, on occasion I will eat potatoes and wholewheat pasta but never a huge portion and it doesn’t spike my bs.

I do like dark chocolate, but usually 70%, don’t usually like any higher, some days I’ll have dark choc someday I’ll have a little normal milk choc, I don’t tend to get more cravings for it, I usually have it after dinner and I feel satisfied. I do check my bs to ensure I don’t get huge spikes...

Unfortunately no as I was out and didn’t have my meter with me, but I have had similar things before with the sameish amount of carbs, sugar and fat and my meter has never gone over 2 mmol from my pre eating reading, and I usually have it after my dinner and all seems okay. I’m really trying...

I don’t do ultra low carb as from checking my metre my body seems to handle carbs okay like brown rice, Quinoa, wholegrain bread - aslong as I have a reasonable portion

I don’t chocolate like that everyday, I usually have smaller bars compared to the standard size, but I just fancied one whilst I was out. Surely a one off doesn’t hurt?

As in does it seem like a healthy diet

Yeah I check as often as I can, sometimes it’s hard to when I’m at work and stuff, but usually around 6.9 or less

From my previous diet I feel it’s a lot more balanced, I know veggies and fruits are key with healthy carbs, proteins and fats, and of course I feel there’s nothing wrong with a little chocolate now and then or gaining something uoubdo t usually have is okay in moderation

Thanks, no it doesn’t go over 7mmol... it’s usually between 6.5-6.9 1-2 hrs after meal....I always thought aslong as it’s no higher than 2 mmol after meals it’s a good sign your body is adjusting to it? And when I’ve looked at charts on a diabetic vs non diabetic, a non didactic levels 2hrs...

beliw is everything I’ve eaten today, I do check my meals before and after, (2-3 hrs) I have had no huge spikes in bg susally goes up 1.5-2 mmol. I do workout in the Morning and went for a 30 min walk this afternoon....does what I ate today seem okay? I know everyone is different and may...
