T2s: What was your fasting BG this morning, and what did you eat yesterday?

midnightrider said:
Thanks Venkat.
After I was diagnosed I stuck to 100-120g carbs and about 16500 calories a day. Also at the time I was doing 30 minutes of brisk walking before breakfast and the same after evening meal.
I found that this regimen allowed me to eat the same meals as my family just with very small portions of things like potato and rice and only very rare carby snacks. I believe that this made it a lot easier to stick to.

Do you mean 1650 Calories?

Most important for me is cooking and eating all family together. I am adjusting my diet and remaining family also adjusting their diets. Then it is easy to cook for all same. Totally agree with you on exercise. I need to find way to walk after dinner.
