[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2510468, member: 355878"] Hello [USER=555148]@James.Kapherr[/USER] - the good news is that your Hba1c is not as high as some - but your wife might just be a teeny bit wrong about the potatoes. I don't eat potatoes - but I am a really ordinary type 2 with a high sensitivity to carbs. You might be something more interesting, but I find my diet is easy to stick to and it works for me - so might be worth a shot. Any meat fish seafood, eggs or cheese, full fat dairy - all are fine as they are low in carbs. I cat low carb veges as my meter shows me that I can get normal blood glucose numbers if I stick to low carb - you might find that you see normal numbers at two hours from starting to eat when you have more carbs or different foods. I eat things such as cauliflower cheese made from cauliflower and cheese, or use any left over mashed swede to make bubble and squeak - I also eat salads and do curries with cauliflower instead of rice, and real coffee with cream. I think type 2 is diabetes mellitus, by the way. Oh - just in case it is relevant - my husband has been eating a fairly low carb diet most of the last 40 odd years and never once had any bother with what men seem to worry about. Not once. Apparently that is unusual. Of course it might be down to my ravishing good looks, possibly. [/QUOTE]
