[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 2261094, member: 323454"] Hi [USER=524045]@Faar23[/USER], Welcome to the forum. There are lots of friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable people on here. I am sure that collectively we may come up with some ideas how to help your husband. You are correct, many of us T2s here on this forum are on a low-carb or keto diet to deal with blood sugars. Personally, I had similarly high blood sugars as your husband at diagnosis five years ago and they had dropped back to normal non-diabetic levels after changing the way I eat. Many here have had similar experiences. However, we are all also very different. No two people with diabetes are alike. Some of us can get away with eating more carbs without causing elevated blood sugars, others have to eat fewer carbs. This might be due to how damaged our metabolicsm already is (though some of this can also be reversed with time). Genetics will also play an important role. So, this is probably why your father can get away with having quite a few carbs (and his diabetes won't progress), but your husband can't. Just also wanted to post the link to a very useful website that has lots of Indian keto recipes: [URL]https://headbangerskitchen.com/[/URL] Another good website is dietdoctor.com, though less specialized in Indian cuisine. However, they let you search for dairy-free recipes (i.e. no cheese). You also don't necessarily have to sign up, lots of stuff is for free. Stick with us and feel free to fire awy if you have questions. [/QUOTE]
