[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2050545, member: 355878"] When I was diagnosed I ordered a whole hogget at the butcher on the way home and had steak for dinner. Depending on just how intolerant of carbs you are - and which ones, your best bet is to organize your protein source, with fats, and then add in the lowest carb veges to start with - stir fries of mushrooms, courgettes, sweet peppers, aubergines, try beansprouts, but I react to beans and peas so don't include them, some people can eat them no problem. If you can get a blood glucose monitor, then you can test before eating and two hours later and see just how your metabolism is coping with the amounts of carbs. The diet I already knew worked for me was Atkins - and a couple of people have found that a late edition of New Diet Revolution has been helpful. Levels of carbs at about 50gm a day seem a good place for glucose control, rather than going straight in at 20 gm per day - the body and metabolism of most type twos are already shaky, and the low carb diet can come as a bit of a shock even for the more healthier specimens. Ease down and adapt if you feel the need for caution, but I felt so much better eating low carb and seeing normal numbers I can only recommend it as a destination no matter what route you choose to get there.
