I'd love to know what that food was. When I began my low carb efforts I mistakenly thought that nuts, especially walnuts, were pretty much carb free. At the end of each meal if I still felt hungry I would fill up on handfuls of walnuts. By the time I realised my mistake, I had sickened myself of walnuts forever! I still have several packets that I can't bring myself either to eat or throw away.I was eating something I thought was ultra safe, and eating plenty of it.........I was wrong.
Those are about 66g carbs per 100g so yeah, that'd do it if you eat a lot. But Appears each cake is about 4.3g carbs so keeping to 2 shouldn't be so badIt was Ryvita Rye Cakes.......which i am eating as a substitute for biscuits.......and with a bit of cheese on them I was eating LOADS a day.
I now just have two per day.
My HbA1c results are in = 44
A happy chappy again!

Walnuts aren’t so bad carb wise, not the lowest but about 7g per 100g taking off fibre. But they are high packed in calories and fat etc. Also very easy to eat in significant amounts I found so I tend to avoid them now. Was the issues you seeing blood level related?I'd love to know what that food was. When I began my low carb efforts I mistakenly thought that nuts, especially walnuts, were pretty much carb free.

It was about the walnuts for the poster who said they were a problem, bad choice of words made it unclear, so apologiesIf you mean my eyesight problem, well I will find out tomorrow at the hospital. Like I said, I have a history of blood clots before I ever got diabetes, and at my last eye screening over a year ago I was showing the very beginnings of Diabetic Retinopathy. In saying that, I am on the Nhs LENS medical trial which is trying to halt that happening through a new drug.
Out of interest, here's my full results from my blood test:-
HbA1c = 44 mmol/mol (6.2%)
Blood Pressure = 132/79 mmHg
Total Cholesterol = 3.5 mmol/L
HDL Cholesterol = 1.50 mmol/L
LDL Cholesterol = 1.7 mmol/L
Triglycerides = 0.6 mmol/L
Creatinine = 91.0 umol/L
eGFR = >60 ml/min

Hi, Newly diagnosed two weeks ago and still in the 'Oh C£$p' stage. From North coast of Scotland (Although, unfortunately not Scottish). Not heard anything since my diagnoses, but appreciate that COVID-19 is playing a part in that.
How did you deal with the diagnoses and the following few weeks ?
