[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1560495, member: 94045"] Hi and welcome, That must have been a big blow, but you've done it once, you can do it again. If you read round this forum you will see just how many folk have success with low carb! Hundreds. Many of us non-medicated T2s find the low GI diets don't work. If the low GI food has carbs, they will still convert to glucose once in the system. They may take a bit longer, but will still convert. The spikes may be lower, but they will last longer. As carbs are the things that raise blood sugar levels it makes sense not to eat them regularly or in quantity. It sounds like you don't have a blood glucose meter, and if that is the case I urge you to buy one. Testing before you eat and again 2 hours after first bite will show you what that food has done to your levels and allow you to reduce the carbs in that meal or eliminate some. If you also keep a food diary including portion sizes and record your BS levels alongside the food, you will see patterns emerging that will help you discover which are your danger foods. You can't do this without a meter. You are working blind. Reducing carbs substantially will also increase your good cholesterol and will help lower all the bad stuff. [/QUOTE]
