I looked on here someone ate 2 burger for lunch and stuff and they are ok.
My doctor is aware.
I can have 2 burgers and be fine. As long as I tell them to hold the buns. Without buns a burger's about 5 grams of carbs (including ketchup, bacon, lettuce, tomato and a bit of pickle/onion). With a bun one small burger is about 30 grams of carbs or more. That's more carbs than I usually have in a day. And that would spike me horribly.
Thing is... Diabetes is highly personal. Your insulin response, insulin resistance and liver dumps are like snowflakes, they're never exactly the same as another T2's. That's why you need a meter, so you can test what foods work for you specifically, and which don't. Generally speaking, all carbs turn to sugar once ingested. So if you test before a meal and 2 hours after first bite, and you don't go up more than 2 mmol/l, then that meal was perfect for you. If it was more, then it was too carby for your body to process back out again. Carby foods include but are not limited to; cereal, bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, corn and underground veggies, fruits (save for berries in moderation). So what can you eat without spikes? Meat, fish, above ground veggies/leafy greens, eggs, butter, double cream, full fat greek yoghurt, cheese, mushrooms, olives, nuts, seeds... Check Dietdoctor.com for menu suggestions if you like.
After a while, eating like this will result in less severe liver dumps, lower fasting bloodsugars and a much improved HbA1c and control. It won't happen overnight though. Give it a few months, and blow your doc out of the water. I don't know your meds as I don't take any (been diagnosed diabetic 2 years, diet controlled for almost as long, could ditch the meds after 3 months), but if they are known to cause hypo's, keep a close eye on your bloodsugar and keep your doc in the loop, as meds might need to be reduced along the way. And have some jellybabies in your pocket in case of a hypo.
Good luck!
