[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2365448, member: 493719"] i agree with [USER=480869]@HSSS[/USER] few of us are really warned. hope that is changing. just to clarify the 60 grams per meal slightly. pre T2d i would estimate i ate way more often then now. snack before work, bite at 11, dinner at lunch time, mid afternoon snack to get me through to home time. then dinner and a little bite to eat late evening. easily 2000 carbs if not more a DAY. now i aim (no saint) for sub 100 grams of carbs hard at first and then i heard the "it's expensive to eat that well'" and it likely is, BUT i eat less often, and smaller portions then before because i get full up quicker wife takes care of herself, so it's mainly just my meals i cater for, usually. i have found that Half a steak does tonight. i cook all the veg and simply use half this evening and half, fried in pan as 'Bubble & Squeak' ( older English dish.) next day, Whack in the freshly cooked half steak, voila another meal from one nights food. So from the 60 grams carbs per meal, that for me would be way plenty. i try for 30-osh per meal so 2 meals a day (2Mad, some go 1 meal a day 'OMAD' and some fast for a day or so. beyond me, sadly, but [USER=480869]@HSSS[/USER] perfectly right, try to balance the diet before fasting i'd say too.) that gets me in and around the sub 100 and around 60+ on a normal day. never hungry, delicious food i enjoy & good for me as a T2..win/win carbs needed..mmhh, debateable but i still eat the share i do. [URL='https://www.mysugr.com/en/diabetes-app/']mysugr[/URL] app, offers an approximate hba1c over several days of regular stabs. fbg pre meals / post meals. don't use it now, but back then, it wasn't too far out.. mysugr said i was 38, but i was 40 officially [/QUOTE]
