Is that good or bad Hartnell6
fasting blood glucose is best if it is under 6 mmol like non diabetics, but not all can achive that...unless they go really low carb, many only eat like 80 grams of carbs a day, and some are even lower like under 20 grams a day..
try it for a few day and see how fast your blood glucose lowers...for some it takes a few weeks to get under 6.5 mmol in the mornings.. try to be strickt and do count the number of grams of carbs a day...
avocado , eggs and all kinds of meats , and also most cheese and all fish are ideal foods when going low carb, and brazil nuts and macadamia nuts... if one doesn´t need to go extreemly low carb , then one can also eat all above ground growing vegetables...
avoid all bread, potatoes corn and rice and cakes and all sugars and honey,
you can eat butter and olive oil and coconut oil,
if you need a kind of bread LIDL has some protein rolls that are very low in carbs, I think they taste fine, of cause not totally like most wheat bread..
there are a threath with recipies of low carb foods in this forum too , where one can find ways to make all sorts of delicious treats too that are suitable for diabetics too..
