[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1552709, member: 355878"] All my adult life I was told that eating low carb was wrong - but I put on weight so quickly eating carbs - when I wanted to lose weight I had to stay below 80 gm of carbs a day, and that was with exercise. The idea that carbs are healthy just doesn't work for me, and now that I am older and diabetic I have to keep my carbs even lower, though more exercise would help. When first diagnosed I used my meter to track how foods changed my BG and found that all the same foods which prevented me losing weight also raised my BG levels, and that staying below 8 mmol/l after meals seemed to be effective in changing my metabolism. My doctors don't seem to be interested in anything but persuading me to take tablets - my diabetes seems to be down to me to sort out, but I do seem to have managed that OK - at least so far. Some foods do seem to have more impact on my BG that others, legumes, for instance seem to raise my BG more than the carb content would suggest, so I ned to keep to small servings of peas and green beans and avoid anything else.
