Hi All,
Recently diagnosed T2 about a week back. The 1st test result was 22 ! following week was between 7 - 12.
I've been reading up a lot and a bit confused about my food. Am an Indian student here in the UK so I need to make quite a bit of adjustments in my food.
I've eaten white rice twice a day all my life, but have no problems ditching it. Well, I havent had rice for the last 10 days now.
My question is if one can have wholemeal brown bread (Rowan Hill)
Serving Size: 100 g, Calories: 217, Fat: 1.8g, Carbs: 37.4g, Protein: 9.6g
I have 4 slices toasted along with a fried egg and some lettuce. Would this be ok ?
I've read some conflicting info about chappatis/rotis. We used Wheat flour to make our chappatis and not the readymade ones, So is safe to eat that ? All along I was under the impression that Wheat Chappatis were the best alternative to rice. Wrong ?
I havent been able to test for a couple of days since Ive run out of strips and they're expensive ! But I guess I will have to buy some and test out by eating different things and making a note of it.
Any Indians out here ? ( only coz I wanted to get the feedback from people who eat Indian food daily ! )
i think its easier to manage BS levels by having English food, everything Indian looks too rich & carbs laden. confused & frustrated. :***:
Thanks ! :thumbup:
