[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2239509, member: 355878"] The sweet potatoes are actually higher in carbs than the ordinary - and I can't eat them. My Hba1c was 91 at diagnosis. I went to low carb of 50 gm a day as I had done Atkins in the past and knew that was the level at which I lost weight slowly - it also turned out to be the level at which my blood glucose level was normal - not a coincidence I think. I eat meat, fish, seafood, eggs, nuts and cheese, salads and stirfries, and some roasted veges also small amounts of frozen berries with cream, also cream in my coffee - the first mug of the day I add in a pinch of cinnamon and a tiny pinch of salt - as I do not have salt in anything else and I was getting cramps in the hot summers. I have reduced down to 40 gm of carbs to try to get a lower Hba1c, but I suspect decades of high carb diets, low in calories and fat, have caused problems. I feel so much better these past few years - and I need to show my bus pass to prove my age. [/QUOTE]
