Thank you. X
Thank you. XIf Burgen Bread is still too high in carbs for you then if you are able to bake, you can make your own low carb/keto bread. Just google keto bread for recipes.
They tend to have only 2gms of carbs per slice, though they will taste different because they are based upon either Almond Flour or Coconut Flour..
Personally I don't eat any bread at all these days, but many in this forum do.
Beans are very high carb and not a great protein source for type 2 diabeticsAnd increase you protein as much as you can; beans are good for this if you don’t want too much meat.
I'm not taking any medication and was simply told to exercise and eat healthy. My confusion is the eat healthy advice given by NHS and on Diabetes uk learning zone, differs from what people with diabetes recommend. I just feel confused by it all.
In your position I'd be looking for who gets the best results..
NHS and DUK I'd guess don't get much remission whereas we do..?
Thanks. I am trying not to but what do I eat at work for lunch, to fill me up? I will look up that bread and try my best at making it. X
Yes I think it is going to b salads all the way. Thank you. XHow about meat and salad or some form
Of protein and salad? Could that work for you? It’s hard, I was a baguette girl myself (plus the office donuts, crisps, chocolates lol) but you do get used to it, or at least a lot of people on this forum do this daily and have done so for years.
Baby bells hold up for a few hours with out a fridge. Pepperoni sticks, olives and nuts.Yes I think it is going to b salads all the way. Thank you. X
SuNuman could you take salads in a tupperware? I know that hard boiled eggs with cheese added to leafy greens always fills me up (and a few nuts to eat later maybe?Thanks.

So advice for a healthy balanced diet doesn't get remission? I'd decided to switch to wholegrain carbs and reduce portions. Increase fruit/veg and go low fat. This seems to be the standard NHS advice. On here I'm seeing that I should look to cut out carbs, don't worry too much about fat and increase protein . And be careful about fruit. Am I understandings this properly?couldn’t agree more! I wish someone would rewrite the official guidance!
Absolutely! You are realising that the dr's advice is wrong. They have to say what they do because of sticking to the guidelines.

Also an nice cauliflower or broccoli soup with cream and shredded cheese add right before eating it. Can be kept in a thermos.
Best of all into use a bg monitor to see what your body likes and doesn't like. We are all different, some tolerate more carbs than others, some tolerate different carbs. And to add to the confusion things can change over time. So by testing your own sugars you can work out what suits youSo advice for a healthy balanced diet doesn't get remission?

I ended up almost spherical after so much pushing to 'eat healthy' - I used the printouts to light the barbecue the day after diagnosis, have eaten red meat and fat ever since, never felt better, the diabetes seems fixed and I am a lot thinner.I'm not taking any medication and was simply told to exercise and eat healthy.

Livlife bread is lower carb, under 4g a slice. Carbzone wraps also good at 4g a wrap for the smaller ones. Both taste good and then you can just add your normal fillings.Thanks.

That looks like you are understanding it entirely correctly, yes. If you get a home blood glucose monitor, the kind you use on your finger (they are essentially painless and fairly simple to use), you will be able to get ample objective evidence that you are on the right track- should you wish to check.So advice for a healthy balanced diet doesn't get remission?
