[QUOTE="TriciaWs, post: 2449317, member: 475901"] In spite of the out-of-date diet beliefs that cutting calories is the only way, ironically it often works for T2 diabetes because going very low calorie means cutting carbs. But you can lose weight and drop blood sugars more easily by cutting out most of our UK style heavy-carb typical diet (and the Eatwell plate). And you have lost of options for support - I used the lowcarbprogram (still available on 'prescription' from the NHS in some parts of the country) because it has meal plans, recipes, a simple carb/nutrient tracker, weekly teaching videos and expert support. Best way to know how many carbs and how your body cope with specific foods is to get a blood sugar meter. Test first thing then before and 2 hrs after each meal. The amount we can eat is very personal, I found I could have 85g carbs a day but no more than 30g in a single meal - others had to go lower. [/QUOTE]
