Re: How long does it take for a piece of toast to be digeste
Hi Charon
Thank you for your helpful reply. I thought that this was unlikely.
I have cut down dramatically on sugar / carbs. On the sugar side, I have totally stopped eating or drinking anything that has sugar (sucrose, glucose syrup, fructose syrup etc)amongst its ingredients. I have also reduced carbohydrates to a comparatively low level (most days not more than 100 gm total). Now eating lots of salads, vegetables, some fruit (berries, pears)fish, very lean meat, nuts. bread - but not more than 2 slices per day (always rye bread or very course wholegrain).
Exercising daily (brisk walking and some cycling). Need to up this (but still a bit lazy).
I've been on this regime since shortly after diagnosis (end of April 13) but do now find that I feel hungry most of the time. I think this is because I am also trying to keep fats intake down. My BG levels are not particularly high (within NICE guidelines for T2s most of the time) but I want to do better than NICE if I can.
