can anyone help me im getting myself into a right tis. ive been type 2 now for 9-10 months now and i have lost 6 stone and so far 14 inches off my waist. thats a 48 inch waist down to a 34 inch and from 20 stone to 14. i made the low carb connection about 5 months after being diagnosed and my hb1ac has gone from 8.9 to 6.0, the problem is ive been low carbing, not strict but moderate but i cant work out the fruit. i can tolerate most normal fruits apart from banana and pineapple. although after testing blood sugars seem to be untouched should i be watching the carbs in the actual fruit. seems funny that i can have a cheese omlette mushrooms 85% pork sausage 1g of carb etc etc and the apple has more. should i cut these down to cut the carb or carry on what im doing. obvioulsy the carbs for they day arent to much or the weight loss wouldnt of been as drastic. a normal day for me is as follows(i work nights so times of meals are all reversed)
wake up around 11.00
walk for 1.20mis
dinner around 1.00pm normally meat and veg with what i no i can tolerate 100g of potato
4.00pm apple
6.30pm lizizs granola 1/3 skimmed milk and strawberrys
9.00pm 50g of mixed pumpkin seeds, almonds. sunflower seeds and walnuts
11.30 pm salad either with chicken, tuna, cheese, and 40g of cooked pasta = 12g of carb
2.00am another fruit or 2 squares of 95%dark chocolate or 25g of plain crisps
does this seem ok. every day is more or less the same . all drinks between are normally black coffee tea or coke zero. this stays much the same for the whole week. what im asking is should i cut the fruit or add it

I can tolerate quite a bit of fruit and you get a lot of nutrients from the fruit which does you good.
