[QUOTE="Faar23, post: 2261066, member: 524045"] Thanks for the links. I have just gone through the first one and it seems like...keto is the way to go? Will a keto diet help with this? Are you on keto? How expensive is keto? Because I have just looked up almond flour and its £6 for 500g bag! whereas regular wheat flour (which we use to make roti(type of pitta bread)) is £5 for 10kg! I mean you can't put a price on health, but I am just wondering. I also checked the other link and will go through it later on, since it has other links. I think just to test out I will give him an egg and sausage breakfast tomorrow and see how his sugar is after a couple hours. Because we have discussed keto for weightloss before but it...seems very very challenging and there is so much cheese involved. I mean people love cheese I know, but...we don't. Yes his mother and my father are both ageing diabetics. His mother is on insulin and she doesn't really take care too much but my father is on metformin now and he has had t2 for nearly 25+ years now. I have seen what he eats and he hasn't cut out the carbs completely. Like every morning for breakfast he has 1 wholewheat toast with 1 fried egg and tea. For lunch its usually a portion of boiled white rice with stir fried veg and chicken (1 teaspoon oil). When he comes back from work he will have a plate of salad with 1 roti (like tortilla...do you know what roti is?) with a portion of curry (can be veg, meat, chicken or lentils) and then at night time again he will have a snack like piece of brown bread with tea or curry again. So his numbers are usually okay and not this insane. I did ask him what he changed in his food and he said when he found out he gave up sugar, thats it, otherwise there was no change. my mother now makes food with very little oil or no oil but when I was younger and living with her she used to make it with an adequate amount of oil. I guess I will ask more questions as they come to me but yeah let's see if we can manage this somehow :( [/QUOTE]
