[QUOTE="Goonergal, post: 1553792, member: 368709"] Welcome [USER=433139]@Suzanne6[/USER] You're in the right place for a lot of good advice and support. On the carbs question how low you go is best dictated by using a blood glucose meter to test immediately before eating and two hours after. You're looking for a rise of no more than 2 mmols. Any more and the carb content of the meal needs adjusting. I'm tagging [USER=379847]@AM1874[/USER] who has some useful information about meters. Some people can eat more carbs than others - personally I've dropped down to 20g or less as my body doesn't cope well with carbs, but other type 2s are eating a fair amount more than that. If you're on any medication other than Metformin you should take advice about managing carb reduction when using meds that impact on insulin production- there are many knowledgable people here who can help (I am unmedicated so have no experience of this). You might also want to look at the low carb programme on this website and also the diet doctor website for meal ideas. [/QUOTE]
