Just remember that this diabetic journey is just that - a journey and not a sprint - so you have time to ease into lower carb eating as others above have suggested. If you are motivated to not add any other meds, you can do this. Just be patient with yourself and remember what one person with diabetes can't eat, another one can, as we are all so individual. I happily found this week that I can tolerate 1/3 cup of steel cut oats with cream and walnuts and barely went up 1 mmol when I tested before and two hours after. I was tickled to think I could enjoy it once in a while! That is just an example as some people can't eat it at all without spiking like crazy!You have been given some really good advice about easing into low carb to avoid carb flu - just remember to add a bit more protein and fat to keep you satisfied as your body will scream for those pesky carbs that got you where you are now! Defeat them!! Blessings/L</blockquote>
