Ok so a little over a month ago I was diagnosed with type 2 and told to go on a sugar free low carb diet along with my meds. since then I've been finding foods that I never would have tried before. none of these things have raised my blood sugar levels by any large margin. and there are some that just spiked me into the atmosphere. I figured id do a running list of these things for anyone newly diagnosed like myself. if nobody objects i will regularly update as I find more, and if anyone wants to contribute please do. More information is always welcome.
Good:
Godiva 90% dark chocolate (this stuff is amazing!!)
caffeine free diet Pepsi (thank god I found this, cant do without my Pepsi fix)
Tesco brand Brown rice pasta (not only low in carbs but gluten free as well)
Celeriac (makes great mash, haven't figured out how to roast it yet)
Cauliflower (absolutely delicious in curries)
Bad
Tesco brand red lentil pasta (for some reason I got a huge spike eating this)
Fish Fingers (im gonna miss these)
Lidl Low GI rolls and cob (the trick here is moderation, just stick to one a day) yeah this worked for a few weeks but now seems that any carb intake rockets me so.......
