I am a relative newbie to type 2, but from the advice i've had on this website your carb consumption in a day seems very high?
T2s: What was your fasting BG this morning, and what did you eat yesterday?

That's what I thought too, but @midnightrider's fbgs are consistently in the 4s, so his diet is working for him. Or maybe it's the exercise?

Hi, and welcome.
After diagnosis, I kept carbs to 100-120g/day (and 1500-1600 Calories) with plenty of exercise and over 6 months lost about 6 stones, during which time my BG slowly dropped to its present levels. When I had reached a suitable weight I increased carbs and calories to about 2000 Cal and 180 g of carbs per day and have been able to maintain the same BG levels. Occasionally, I have higher carb days but even when I my go to 220 or 230 g carbs this is still well below recommended levels of about 300g.day. It may be that my present diet is unsustainable but so far it seems fine, I believe that the exercise is the critical factor. Also, this was not achieved overnight and may not be possible for everyone.
