[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2677889, member: 506169"] I agree that the App isn't helpful. Although both App and the book are both recommended over on the Diabetes.org.uk site. Historically they have pushed a 'normal carbs' approach, though that is much less these days due to some from here posting about our remission over there. Personally, I take the approach that my best dietary advisor for carbs is my BG meter. Basically, I eat lots of protein, (meat, fish, eggs, cheese) and the fat that goes with them, eat only as many carbs as my meter suggests (based on a reading of less than a 2 mmol rise at 2hrs after first bite) and fill up with very low carb veg. Here's a link to the blog post which got me started on my path to T2D remission (been in remission nearly 4yrs now): [URL unfurl="true"]https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html[/URL] There are 2 meters which are often mentioned for being decent quality and cheap test strips (the main expense): Gluco Navii Tee2+ Both are available online, I have no connection to either company except as a customer (for the Tee2+ - my first meter which I still use).
