[QUOTE="Lehany73, post: 2267290, member: 523392"] I'm also a skinny type2 and can't afford to be loosing any weight. Just dropped from 68kg to 64 trying to reduce my Carb intake to bring BG down to a reasonable level. I was also 120 Hba1c and now down to 67. I'm on Metformin and Gliclazide which wasn't really doing much until I drastically cut the carbs which then started unwanted weight loss. But after reading through several threads on this forum I have recently found some alternatives that are really helping. FF yogurt with chopped seeds/nuts and some berries for breakfast when I'm at work and lot's of sausage, eggs and bacon when I'm not. Nice homemade soups for lunch and more fatty meat's witch certain veg's for dinner. I try to eat bigger portions at meal times and cut out the snacks in between. There are good sugar free sweets out there for a sweet treat but dbl check for carb content. The best thing I can recommend is to invest in a Freestyle Libre sensor. This really shocked me at first as I thought I was being really healthy by having porridge and eating lot's of fruit but the sensor showed it was doing me no favours. With the sensor you can work on what foods have little BG impact and will really help with your OH's diet programme. It's a worth while investment Best of luck [/QUOTE]
