[QUOTE="ChristieM, post: 2013445, member: 364613"] I was diagnosed in September 2016. I weighed 73 kilos and my HA1BC was 12. (Can’t remember the equivalent). Despite having a family history of type 2 diabetes I was unaware of this site but using my ‘common sense’ immediately limited myself to a maximum of 120 g of carbs per day. After 3 months my HA1BC was 45 and after 7 months I weighed 60 kilos. My HA1BC remained 45 until 3 months ago it went down to 41. I do test myself and it seems to be fine still. If I do get a high reading, usually after eating away from home, it goes down to an acceptable level after 3/4 hours. This what I eat and what I don’t. Breakfast. 2 extremely thin slices of low GI seeded bread toasted with cheese and butter or small folded seeded flatbread with butter and scraping of sugar free peanut butter or Greek yoghurt with or without a few berries or a 1/4 teaspoon of lime curd. Lunch Greek salad or soup or eggs or toast (if yoghurt for breakfast) or even a scone or toasted tea cake on occasion! Dinner anything except potatoes( apart from a couple of pre-cooked and then fried new potatoes) rice pasta more bread or other beige carbs. I do occasionally have approx 5 oven chips with no effect on my BG. Ditto precooked and reheated rice - tablespoonful or so. I don’t restrict myself to above ground veg, although I have small portions of parsnip for example. Pudding is Greek yoghurt with berries or sometimes other fruits during the week, a small amount of ‘normal’ pudding at the weekends especially ice cream. Snacks consist of Nature Valley protein bars or Babybel cheeses or nuts. This what I’ve done since diagnosis. It’s not exceptionally low carb and certainly not Keto but it works for me. [/QUOTE]
