    Confused with blood glucose levels & the big porridge debate !

    I think the dawn phenomenon causes higher blood sugars in the mornings, but is exacerbated for peeps with type 2 diabetes. I still eat porridge in the morning, made from rolled oats, but I always make sure to eat it with a fat source to blunt the carb effect, as well as protein powder. Maybe try...

    Exercise and drop in HbA1C

    Oh there have been significant dietary changes, very significant. I just meant that I hadn't changed what I eat since I started walking and increasing the walking. I no longer binge eat, I eat three meals a day, carbs below 70 grams a day. Always in a calorie deficit. Breakfast is 47g rolled...

    Exercise and drop in HbA1C

    Yeah, I have a goal weight and want to reach that. Also lower weight makes the type 2 diabetes easier to manage, as well improving and better coping with my lymphedema in my left leg which is a result of being morbidly obese for so long.

    Exercise and drop in HbA1C

    Thanks for the clarification. I still want to lose 10 more kg and see what my A1C is then. I have an appointment with my endo on the 16th of December, I shall see what happens then with the blood work.

    Exercise and drop in HbA1C

    Does anyone know if exercise produces a drop in HbA1C, since June I have slowly increased my exercise, sometimes walking 2 hours a day, but always one hour when the weather permits, and my knee is ok. My food hasn't significantly changed, but with more weight loss I am not in so much of a...

    Best low carb food for satiety?

    Because three eggs and two egg whites fill up my fry pan just to the right level, and I am still counting calories egg whites have less calories then a whole egg and they are good for supplementing protein.

    Best low carb food for satiety?

    3 egg, two egg white omelet with some kind of non starchy veg is a good for me, I can make it through a morning and most of the afternoon on that and coffee. I usually just precook brusell sprouts and cauliflower, take them out of the fridge warm them up in the frypan before adding the eggs...

    Cholesterol: GP discussion and my decision....

    I tend to keep my net carbs under 50g a day, a very good day is 40g. Most come from vegetables, the rest from oatmeal, full fat soy milk and my daily serving of full fat yogurt. I tend to avoid cheese, processed meat, red meat, cream, butter. I use olive oil sparingly so food doesn't stick to...

    carbs from non starchy vegetables and quantity

    Ok, I usually try to star under 50g carbs a day, but have been trying to eat more vegetables as I wasn't eating enough to get adequate fiber before. My question is carbs from mushrooms, red bell pepper, onion, fennel, broccoli. I presume they have a far smaller effect due to the low GI and GI...

    Use of Quorn etc

    Indeed quorn is mostly protein, very little carbs, I used to eat it when first diagnosed but I find that it has too much fiber these days for me to enjoy. I still occasionally eat tofurky deli slices, and sausages and those are great.

    On a low-carb diet but do not want to lose any weight ?

    Should not losing weight on a low carb diet, work like not losing weight on any other kind of diet. Calories in - calories out. Calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate + your activity level and then you have the total calories you burn for a day. Don't eat at a calorie deficit and you won't loose...
