Type 2 Controlling Blood Sugars

[Julie27318]

When i was Borderline 5 years ago someone told me it changes and you won't always behable to keep good control.....so is this controlling it only temporary then....is there going to come a time when nothing will work and the sugars will just rise and rise and destroy us!!!

No one knows the future. With good control and a low carb diet, anything good is possible. It will, at the very least, delay any progress or complications.

what is your HbA1c and what sort of diet do you have?

so, what do you eat? whats a typical days or weeks diet for you?

did the doctor not tell you what your result was at your last blood test?

Someone with T2 who is now on metformin described himself as 'more diabetic' than me. I like to think that I am just as diabetic but better controlled!

I didnt say you were supposed to eat carbs. I asked if you have any carbs at all.

There’s definitely carbs in veg and I see you have milk too which contains carbs. I’m not saying that a tiny amount of carbs are terrible and for a vaguely normal diet they’re pretty much unavoidable.

Yeah but i think it's only certain veg isn't it?

Seems like your diet is quite good julie but you do sound a little like what i was or maybe still am at certain times. Always worried about what goes into your mouth. It' can be really stressful. But the thing is we do have to eat don't we and just about everything has carbs in it. Nice to see your questions, i enjoy the answers, as i take them on board for myself.

Do you test your BS? That way you will be able to find out what foods you can eat or need to avoid/have smaller portions and enable you to vary your diet

Please read the forum ..... this time, carefully. The help is here for you, but you also need to put in a lot of effort with research

Most vegetables have some carbs in them, even eggs and cheese do, not a lot but they all add up. As stated above have a good look through the forum as it's a great resource. It can be hard to find a balance between trying to reduce carbs but still eating in a sustainable way. If you are too restrictive you may find that you aren't enjoying your meals which in turn makes it easier to fall back into old habits.
