Hi @Beausrus,

Tell us a bit more about yourself and we will try and help.

Do you have any other health problems?
Are you overweight?
Can you exercise?
What do you eat on a typical day?
What medication are you on other than for diabetes?

it sounds like you're a T2, insulin resistant and carbs go hand in hand AFAIK

Evidence is inconclusive for an ideal amount of total fat intake for people with diabetes;

therefore, goals should be individualized; fat quality appears to be far more important than quantity.

In people with type 2 diabetes, a Mediterranean-style, MUFA-rich eating pattern may benefit

glycemic control and CVD risk factors and can therefore be recommended as an effective alternative to a lower-fat, higher-carbohydrate eating pattern.
