[QUOTE="Glennis67, post: 1903320, member: 478143"] Hi Tracey I was diagnosed type 2 diabetic at the end of May so I’ve had my three month HbA1c test. I don’t test my blood - call me a chicken, but my reasoning is that I’m saving my fingers for when I need it! Anyway, I started a “controlled carb” diet at the beginning of June and my blood glucose went down from 48 to 40. Basically when you have a meal concentrate on the veggies, then the meat. Don’t eat processed stuff, it’s packed with sugar and carbs. I keep a food diary and add up the carb values by checking the nutritional info on packets and by googling. I aim at between 60g to 90g per day. Keep following this site - there is so much support in here. We’re all different but this works for me. Think of it as a science experiment - sugar and carbs should be limited, but veggies, eggs and meat are my friend!!! [/QUOTE]
