[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2171509, member: 493719"] Hi [USER=517015]@Catey[/USER] So sorry to hear the lax delivery of any T2 diagnosis is still so prevalent. You sound very positive in your approach to things, but for many of us, THAT bad news, delivered in such a cack handed way, leaves us shocked and worried.. so your not alone there, sadly. Great advise above. Lots of information to take in, but you've made a great start on this just by simply finding the forum. If I was talking to MYSELF, at this stage your at..I'd tell myself to keep a food diary. . Make a note of how many carbs were in the foods I was eating And that is simply because, you will hear a lot about diets on here. And low carb high fat.. Is one a lot find the most helpful and possibly easiest solution to managing this disease,..... A disease, that YOU could possibly put back for years or avoid completely. IF you have a mind to. In its simplest terms, as Type 2, we are allergic to carbs... And if you are allergic or have a bad reaction to certain things you would try and avoid that 'THING' right.... And for us it's carbs. So we need to be aware of how many CARBS we are consuming. I think before I was diagnosed (DX) I would have been eating 400-500g a day .I believe government guidelines point to 250g being a more sensible level. To help me, I now take my carbs down to 50-80 a day..(personally I try for under 30 g per meal. And now only eat 2 meals a day.. And mostly the second meal is more of a snack) The bonus of that for me, was not only have I managed to reduce my highish levels of glucose in my body/blood . I also lost weight, without really trying...a nice common side effect of low carb. So welcome, well done on making a great start and finding this wonderful forum. Enjoy finding out more about the various diets and what to eat for a REAL healthier diet. .(I think many of us THOUGHT, I know I did. That we were ALREADY eating a healthy diet, but that was before we learned the truth, that most of what we ate was doing us more harm then good. Sadly) [/QUOTE]
