[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2121278, member: 506169"] Hi LoubyLou2. Fist I want to say a huge congratulations for having been able to lose all that weight and get your Blood Glucose out of the diabetic range without any support or advice in the first place. - That is an enormous achievement! Secondly, it isn't your fault that you have let things slip diabetes and weight wise since then. Again, without support and advice staying 'on the wagon' is also a huge and continual effort! You say that you are vegetarian so that limits your choices a little, but so long as you aren't Vegan then a suitable ' dietary lifestyle' - not a 'diet' because it is for life, isn't that difficult for most members. There are various forms of Low Carb that people do. For example, some cut carbs to below 20gm per day and are thus doing a 'Keto' lifestyle, while others cut them down to below 50gms per day (myself included), while others have a much higher tolerance of Carbs and are fine on around 100gms per day. There are 2 major points here: 1. Everybody is different (some can eat root veg like Carrots - I can't) . 2. Eat to your BG Meter! Test for the suitability of a meal by testing your BG before the meal, then once or twice after the meal. For the more 'carby' meals test after 1hr and after 2hrs (after 1st bite). For a less 'carby' or low GI index meal test after 2hr and 3hrs.. I don't know if you eat dairy, but if you do, then eggs are good an versatile. Milk may be problematic (it contains natural sugars) but Cream, full fat plain Yoghurt and full fat Cheese are also good. Most doing Low Carb here either go Low Carb High Fat (as I do) or go full 'Carnivore' - which obviously isn't for you. There is a Low Carb Diet Forum and a Vegetarian Diet Forum, ss well as huge numbers of success stories of using Low Carb to get out and stay out of the diabetic Blood Glucose range. [/QUOTE]
