[QUOTE="smc4761, post: 1817148, member: 119069"] I have diabetic for over 35 years and after putting on a wee bit of weight decided to try a low carb diet. I am not too strict about it but have made a real effort to cut out potatoes, bread, rice and pasta. Done this for about 10 weeks now and have lost half a stone so happy with that. Previously I was taking around 220 g of carbs daily The main carbs I have now are cereal with milk in morning, around 50g, maybe 20 g of carbs at lunch, salad stuff and maybe some home made soups. Dinner at night is, chicken, fish, meat but just have veg with that. last night chicken stir fry, onion, peppers, courgette, carrot,baby corn, mushrooms, probably around 25 g of carbs couple of crackers and cheese around 8 pm with my coffee At weekend I will have a couple of rolls for breakfast and maybe an Indian/Chinese takeaway as my naughty carbs day Obviously my insulin intake has reduced considerably for lunch and dinner BG has got better but still having some strange readings when BG is rising, particularly overnight for no apparent reason. So infuriating [/QUOTE]
