[QUOTE="Celeriac, post: 987424, member: 188243"] By setting myself a target of 50g carbs per day, I should have been able to eat three meals per day and have leftover carbs for snacks. But my body doesn't accept that. It reacts to the 9.3g of carbs in a 15g bag of organic corn and herb puffs for toddlers, the 2.5g of carbs in a tablespoon of piccalilli - even 2 teaspoons of piccalilli. Effectively, my way of eating is completely added sugar-free. The only carbs I have now come from vegetables, dairy and the occasional nibble on fruit eg a very few grapes or cherries. I eat under 30g carbs a day like this, in fact probably under 25g. Most of the time I have normal BG. I don't regard myself as having reversed T2 diabetes, or put myself into remission, not if 2 tsps of piccalilli can bump me out of ketosis and give me higher BG, brain fog and dehydration. I do take the view, reading the fora on this website, that very many people happily consume carbs and there seems to be an attitude of smugness sometimes, about that. But I always wonder whether consuming carbs is wise for T2s. I'd rather have good vision than toast. [/QUOTE]
