Hey guys

I seem to not have the type 2 diabetes anymore.

I eat a typical diet which is lower carb now. Do I need to worry about calories? I can easily go over a little. Its saying I should eat around 1500 cals on one of the apps.

Macros seem be be approx 109g daily carbs, 79g protein and 84g fat.

Anyone have any ideas ? Have another stone to lose and I have chronic fatigue syndrome so I dont go for actual exercise just walking and housework and I have stairs in my house.

I only eat oatcakes,potatoes, basmati rice and buckwheat flour as my main carbs and I eat them in small portions compared to what it used to be.

I upped the protein(eggs, meat, fish) and fat (coconut oil, butter, almond butter, olive oil, cheese...)
Like yourself I am now in remission. I am on the low carb diet and try to stay between 40 and 70 grams of carbs a day. Some times such as holidays I do exceed this but I have managed to lose 2 1/2 stone so far and my last blood reading was below pre diabetic.
I use the Ssmsung health app which allows me to track the carbs for each meal.
