[QUOTE="Sangre, post: 2405359, member: 427430"] You don’t say how much you weigh, but you need to get as much body fat off of you as you can if you are overweight. I have been diabetic now for 11 years. I am currently working on reversing it with a great diabetes coach, Dr. Mowll. Google him. I have been on a keto diet for over two years now and have cut my Metformin in half and have eliminated Januvia altogether. What you need to do beginning now, is test after each meal. I do not know your system in the UK, but over here in the USA, blood glucose should not go over 140 two hrs. after you take your first bite of food. You will need to translate that to the measuring system you use in the UK. You can determine the amount of carbs you can eat based on that threshold. For me, I can eat no more than 50 net grams of carbohydrates per day. That translates to about 17 net grams of carbs per meal. Net carbohydrate grams equal total carbs minus fiber.
