Thanks Liam1955. Checked that out makes a lot more sense now. Some of the recipes look good too. I will do some meal planning tomorrow. I ate less carbs today and noticed I wasn't quite so hungry or maybe it's my imagination. Don't think I could do 20g of carbs though. This is going to be a BIG change for me .
You are Welcome @Hoon. If you go to the top of the page and click on the word FORUMS, then scroll down to FOOD and NUTRITION there you will see all kinds of diets, I believe the low carb is amongst them. I can't quite remember at the moment! - But some of the members who follow LCHF Diet actually list what they have eaten on a thread, if I can find it? It may be of some help in your menu planning. If I find it I will tag you.. (place @followed by Avatar name leave a space and when you press post, it should turn red - that person will be alerted to a message)
@Hoon - Found it . When you have scrolled down to FOOD and NUTRITION - click on Low -Carb Diet that will take you into the list, and then scroll down to (10th heading) What have you eaten today. Hope this is of some help to you .

@Liam1955 Thanks for the support some weeks ago as advised I lowered my carbs significantly and my blood sugars came down quickly. I had the cpeptide test and turns out the doctor who told me I may be lada was wrong . My levels were 1.06
@liam1956 sort of I will have to explore a bit more to get used to it Just wandering around reading questions and replies. Very informative. I am learning quickly. My hba1c is at 6.5 down from 12 and I have halved my insulin. I will now look for some new food ideas. I have found that I can have a certain amount of carbs and no more or my levels will rise. I am much more aware of how carbs and insulin affect me now and I feel a whole lot less overwhelmed Never found a doctor or dietitian that could give me the info I have got from this site. Most grateful.
