[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1669516, member: 355878"] Why would you - as a type 2 diabetic be concerned about keeping your levels steady? I don't understand the thinking behind that advice from your medical team, surely you need to keep your carb intake down so as to reduce your over exuberant insulin production and insulin resistance? For unmedicated type twos the problem is always to prevent highs, so no need to be pushing carbs. There isn't any need for trips to the shops if you can get deliveries, and perhaps a request on a local Freecycle or selling list even might get you a fridge - the Red Cross might be able to help, they were very good when my mother in law had to leave her home as they cleared out the furniture, good and bad, dumped the bad and distributed or sold the rest. There is also the British Heart Foundation. My own requirement is two meals a day one early one late and no snacks - and I stay under 6 but over 5 mmol/l all the time. [/QUOTE]
