You guys are all stars, she can be really funny with meat so the indian seems to be the best way to go, avoiding the fruity / sweet dishes, lots of mango and pineapple in stuff like kashmiri. Great to find out there's lots of lowish carb veg options anyway, also something worth investigating...

Yes we've ordered the code3 meter

How many carbs are there in vegetables ? What are the best low carb vegetables for meals ?

I did think that at first, but according to their nutritional breakdown 5.2g of carb per 100g / 6.3g of carb per portion. So 2 portions would be 12.6g of carbs? Is that acceptable? Low? High?

Indian I guess you could have the curry if you watch for the sweetness... but it's a bit hard to eat a curry with no chips, rice, poppadoms or naan so it would just basically be a sauce! Chinese the same problem, you may get some cooked veg in sauces (Think my OH eats kung po vegs?) but then...

How many carbs per day would people say (on average) is the limit to consume? How many grams of carbs should I definetly not go over per day ? And how many carbs should there be in a meal to be classed as low carb? For example , my other half hates oily fish but likes these fish in sauce by...

So for anyone who's not seen any of my other threads, my other half has been diagnosed T2, yesterday. On Monday we go away camping for 3 days. The plan had been to enjoy our holiday, and eat at various fast food / take away places (McDonalds, Chinese, Indian) whilst we are there, so we don't...

Thank you , I've gone for the codefree that measures in mmol I got 100 lancets and 100 strips I'm still holding out hope that we can get a meter and strips on prescription, but we're thinking this will last about a month if we test three times a day until we get the diet figured out. Until...

Thank you for all your help everyone , that at least clears up some of my worries

So my partner was diagnosed type 2 yesterday ...and we are floundering a bit We've spent all day on here trying to sort out the Keto / low carb diet, cutting carbs and sugars and planning what we can eat from now on. We've been planning on cutting out carbs by getting rid of cereals, breads...

Condiments / Sauces / Dressings...what can I replace them with ? I am totally new to this, and trying to find the best options for my partner's diabetes T2. So far I have found (but correct me if there are better alternatives) Mayonnaise ( Full fat hellmans seems to have lowest sug/car)...

Just doesn't like it , she was fully vegetarian for about 10 years and is VERY fussy with meat now. She can eat bacon, and chicken and that's pretty much it. Fish wise she can't stand oily fish, or seafood like prawns etc. though can eat cod/haddock and tuna.

I know you'd all go for meat sausages, but my other half is more or less vegetarian and doesn't eat most meats....

When looking at low carb foods, especially snack foods , what % of carbs are acceptable and what would be deemed too high ? So for example, I picked up some Quorn picnic sausages. They have no sugar , but have 10g of carb per 100gs , so 10% carb. Is this acceptable as a snack / treat ? or is...

What is the Best replacement for sugar in tea / coffee? My partner doesn't like cream, so with chucking the milk and replacing it with unsweetened almond milk , it's left it a little bland. We've been told some sweetners can be pretty bad too, so can anyone recommend a good alternative to...

Just want to say a big thanks to all who relpied, lots of reading to do. We're seeing if the doctor will put a prescription in for a glucose test meter (We're unemployed, so on low income and if we're going to be testing a few times a day until we figure the diet out, it'll start to add up!)...

Just called them now , the range they use is that it should be between 20-42 and hers came back 76

UK I'm in

We weren't given one, she did a fasting blood test yesterday and the results came back today. Would they be able to give us the hbac if i rang them up ?

So my partner has just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. She's 31. The nurse said that usually they'd wait until a second blood test to confirm, but her results were very high so she's very confident it's type 2 , especially as there's a lot of diabetes in her family (Mother, Aunt &...
