[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1477357, member: 355878"] You might feel better if you add more fat to your diet. Fats - that includes oils as well are essential elements of a healthy diet - despite what has been repeated so often in the recent past, can be used for energy, is particularly good food for the brain, and most significant for T2 diabetics, doesn't trigger the release of insulin. I know that I had a maximum of 80gm of carb a day when I was using Atkins for weight control, but I could not eat cereals potatoes, legumes or high fructose fruits - still can't as they make my blood glucose go high and stay high for a long time. I have normal levels as I cut out all the foods I could not eat and maintain my weight, and then tried to keep my highest readings under 8 mmol/l after a few weeks I saw levels dropping and now I have maximums closer to 7.
