Hello all, could I please ask for some advice regarding a low carb diet?
I have had type 2 diabetes for many years now and all I've been told is to eat a low carb diet, I don't have a problem with this but my question is:
How do I know what low carb actually is?
How many grams per day is considered to be low?
I've been told to buy foods that are low in carbs but a lot of the times I'm still having around 150-200g of carbs a day and it's obviously still too much as my sugars are quite high still.
I am not getting a straight answer from anyone as to how many carbs is considered OK to keep sugars down, basically not exceed more than so many grams per day?
I have never been given a diet regime by anyone at various GP surgeries and am now getting seriously stressed out trying to guess what is a good diet, so basically just guessing at the moment.
Could somebody please advise as I am at the end of my tether now I've really had enough. I had cancer 3yrs ago and still dealing with that as well!
Sorry for the long post, TIA
