Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 475901" data-source="post: 2613015">A few practical bits:T2s usually have to fund our own meters to measure our blood glucose/sugars. The meters are cheap but the test strips are an ongoing cost.I started by measuring everything - checking how many carbs in each meal and snack. Then checking my BG before and two hours after every meal until I understood how many carbs my body would tolerate.I also thought hard about my favourite foods, the things that would trip me up, and found keto substitutes for most of them. And about the foods I should now consider as guilt-free that we'd been told to avoid! I welcomed back cheese, eggs, butter and full fat milk (milk in smaller amounts)It was a big overhaul but worth it.</blockquote>
