[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 2066286, member: 400972"] Ok so your diet may not be as low carb as you think, depending what level you are aiming for. For example 2 Weetabix with say 125mls of milk will come to around 30g carbs. My choice of carb level is 30-50g per day others aim for different levels. It may be worth actually adding up how many carbs you are eating per day. Think about any carbs that may not be so obvious, what are you thickening your casserole gravy with? Were there any root veggies in your roasted veggies? Bread isn’t always well tolerated by type 2s. I gather from your post you are testing in the morning, but you might find it helpful to test before your meals and 2 hours later, this will show you how your food choices are affecting your levels.
