[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1786473, member: 94045"] Hi and welcome, If it were me, what I would do next is abandon all the low fat products (they are not good for anyone, and are higher in carbs than the real thing), I would not change my salt intake, I would cut out all pasta products and oats unless my meter told me some were OK (but this is unlikely) and I most certainly would never cut out red meat. Why cut out red meat? Your nurse is wrong, by the way. She is using NHS advice that is not appropriate for T2 diabetics. It is known, and has been known for centuries, that carbs convert to sugar once eaten. So eating them makes no sense when we already have too much sugar circulating. When we reduce carbs we also reduce our energy intake, and this has to be replaced, which is why fat is necessary. It is also necessary because it stops us from being hungry. Have a watch of this wonderful video. It is quite short. [MEDIA=youtube]hcWdwc94lzI[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
