[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2412857, member: 517579"] Hello and welcome to the club. You definitely need a meter - it gives you a snapshot of how things are , and what impact recent food, exercise, stress, illness etc has had. Change for the better can occur very quickly. This link [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog/kennya.517579/[/URL] is my personal retrospective on what I found out in the first year. The difficult bit is the unlearning - most of what you think you know about "healthy eating" is wrong for a T2 like me. As we differ in how we react to carbs etc, my experience will be different to yours. The crucial thing is finding out how your own system works. It's possible to combine a very low carb pattern with a normal pattern within a household - I just don't eat things like potatoes, pasta, rice etc. but that doesn't mean others can't. If I am eating plenty of protein and (especially) fat, I don't get hungry and snacking isn't an issue. And - this forum is a very good source of advice and support. [/QUOTE]
