[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1812112, member: 94045"] Have a look at this website [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/60-seconds[/URL] It gives a lot of information on foods that are suitable for T2 diabetics, and ones that need avoiding. You have a glucose meter, so my suggestion is to use it to guide you with your food choices. Test before you eat Test 2 hours after first bite Look to see if there is a rise from before to after. If this rise is more than 2mmol/l, preferably less, there are too many carbs in that meal Keep a detailed food diary and record your levels alongside. Soon patterns will emerge and your personal danger foods will become obvious. The major culprits in raising blood sugar levels are breakfast cereals including porridge, potatoes, rice, bread, pasta and anything containing flour. Fruit and milk are also very difficult. Instead of looking for low sugar products, you need to look at the nutrition label for the "total carbohydrate" and ignore the "of which sugars" as sugar is contained in the total carb amount. Anything more than 10% carb needs careful thought. Forget calories - concentrate on carbs. As for fats, you need to increase these as you reduce carbs or you will lose energy. How much protein have you been told to eat? [/QUOTE]
