Some chicken, a small amount of houmous (50g), carrots, cucumber, tomatoes, a few pieces serrano ham & some goats cheese. The total carbs in everything was 13g.

So my BG monitor arrived an hour ago so I thought I'd do a 2 hrs after eating test. Though i don't have the pre food control to compare to Its come up at.5.9 mmol. Thats ok isn't it?

I have been following it on my GP's advice since I was diagnosed at the beginning on June & have found i have lost weight. But still a month away from my 2nd BG test so no clue how my BS is. It isn't quite Keto - you can eat a few more carbs than that but it is moderate protein, low carb. You...

I am quite confused at the difference between the blood sugar diet & keto. They seem to advocate the same thing (very few carbs, clean food). Is the major difference the calorie counting in the 1st 8 weeks on the BSD?

Thank you all for all the Thailand advice. We plan to base ourselves in Chiang Mai. Though we'll be teaching english so maybe out in the sticks a bit. Happily they have some non carby street food options & they don't seem to use as much sugar as in the south. I'll do a few tests with rice &...

Ah that makes complete sense! Thx

Thanks both. I just realised the number of typos in my original post! Apologies. The one that a difference is that I am going to be in Thailand full time in a year as we are moving there. I guess I will need to avoid Mango sticky rice [emoji25]. Thankfully we are moving to the north where there...

Hi. I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. My HC1A level was 53, which i think is high but not really high? I only found out as a result of the over 40 health check they do (1st time something lime the has been useful!) My GP was very helpful. She suggested the blood sugar diet, put me...
