[QUOTE="MeiChanski, post: 2143322, member: 503481"] Hello, welcome! You'll have to tell us if you're on medication, or managing your type 2 diabetes through diet and exercise. I understand it's difficult because you enjoy carbs. From my understanding carbs raises blood glucose, it is also depends on your insulin production - I don't know if you have had a c peptides test to see how much of your own insulin you're producing. I think exercise might help but your carb consumption doesn't help your insulin resistance. So you could be having a high blood glucose for a while until it drops. You can weigh your carbs, for example 100g of mashed potato, 50g of some carrots and peas and then see how much that raises your blood glucose. However if you go overboard, lets say 300-400g of potatoes, very little meat and veg, I don't think you'll be very well. Everyone is different and we all react differently to certain amount of carbs. I know some won't touch it because the consequences aren't nice. However there are alternatives, instead of roast and mashed potatoes, you can opt for more meat which according to some people have found that more filling then carbs. [/QUOTE]
