[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2226291, member: 401801"] So basically, your diet is all carbs, all the time. The bad news: you're basically poisoning yourself every day. The good news: You can easily get yourself back to the non-diabetic range, because you can make a LOT of changes. Ditch the grain based products (all of them, wraps, bread and all), all fruits save for berries, and please, please step away from smoothies... Fruit is loaded with sugar, and whatever bit of fibre's in there that can slow a peak down, gets destroyed in the smoothy maker. The sugars in there are hitting your bloodstream hard and peaking you fast. Alcohol free beer doesn't matter, you want to know the carb content of a beer. (They don't call it liquid bread for nothing). [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/alcohol[/URL] should help you pick an alternative. And you might want to check the carb content of that protein bar. So... In case you haven't read the Thingy yet, which I guess a lot of people don't actually bother with: Start your day with eggs, bacon, maybe a tomato, some high meat content sausages. Lunch? A salad with something fatty, as leafy greens alone don't fill you up. So that could be tuna, salmon, warmed over goats cheese, avocado, that sort of thing. In the evening, meat, fish, poultry with above ground veggies/leafy greens. Just have more of that to replace the missing carbs. Or go for a replacement like celeriac or cauliflower rice. One more thing about fruit. Most T2's have something called Metabolic Syndrome. It's a combination of different conditions that usually are found together.
