Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 475901" data-source="post: 2422316">The best way to find out how many carbs you can eat without spiking too high is to test. If your blood sugars are fine, and the test 2 hrs after eating is fine then why not eat a little more carbs - maybe some fruit or a slice of bread to see how you do?I was lucky as even with a diagnosis of T2 I got into remission by cutting to 100g of carbs then down to 85g to get rid of the early morning spike. I'm now back to between 100g - 120g a day without any problems.Meanwhile try things like a low sugar fruit crumble to up the calories? - I make mine with cooked rhubarb, maybe with a few raspberries added in, sweetened with erythritol then topped with ground almonds (I rub in a little butter to the almonds). Bake for about 20 mins on 190C, then eat with double cream. I also made strawberry lollies when I had too many in - cooked the berries for a few seconds to soften them, sweetened then added to whipped double cream and frozen in small portions (about 2 strawberries a portion).I also make a substitute for potato mash with a mix of butternut squash and kohlrabi - the kohlrabi needs a lot of cooking so I do that first, mash together then add butter and/or cream and black pepper.</blockquote>
