[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 2082072, member: 160246"] It takes some of us a month or more to bring glucose levels down despite eating only 40 to 50 carbs a day. It did for me. I used graph paper to track every glucose result over an 8 week period. That kept me going. My glucose levels were all over the place, but I slowly began to see a downward trend. That was a good dinner for your father. Well done. Track his glucose levels. Watch for the downward trend. :) Edited to add for me: 10.2 mmol/l is 183.6 mg/dl in the US. The low carb meal you prepared provided protein and fiber. That will help. I've never made or eaten curry. Does it have fat in it? I believe fat will slow down the processing of the carbs and will help curb the cravings. Fat doesn't effect glucose levels very much. Coming off refined starches and sugars causes withdrawal symptoms including intense cravings at times. It's not an easy thing to do but gets better with time. Including fat with all meals/snacks will help. Actually all meals/snacks should include protein, a healthy fat, with a small portion of carbs from whole foods, not refined. [/QUOTE]
