[QUOTE="SlimLizzy, post: 2317705, member: 488270"] Hi Dan, My last HbA1c was down to 40, back into normal range. This is on approx 100g carbs per day max. And no more than 30g in any one meal. Most days come in under the 100g. My weight plummeted at first, but was hardly eating any carbs at the time, and my Dr had advised low fat diet! Unsurprisingly I lost weight. When I decided to have some carbs it more or less stabilised. Of course abandoning the idea of low fat diet probably helped as well. Am still trying to get the weight/BG balance right though. Don't have any issues with stamina or energy, although am a bit tired now, after morning spent digging the vegetable patch. Any more questions, you can PM me. Best wishes Lizzy Edited to add: most of my daily carbs come from vegetables or dairy produce, never eat rice, having decided cauliflower rice is tastier, have occasional tiny portion of pasta (20-25 wholemeal penne), occasional small portion (about a dozen) frozen chips. Have also found a lower carb bread (28gcarbs per 100g)so can have a slice of toast. The sugary stuff is best avoided. [/QUOTE]
