[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1801735, member: 94045"] From what you say, the majority of your readings are not high, and neither was your HbA1c. You can easily lower these. You can't count the calories you lose through carbs and increase fats and protein by the same amount. It doesn't work like that. You have to use your glucose meter to guide you with your carb consumption, and your bathroom scales to guide you with your fats and protein, and a food diary to help you overall.. Carbs will raise levels (and fruit). Fats will not raise them at all. Protein is very unlikely to have much effect. What about bacon, eggs, mushrooms (fried in butter) and a tomato for breakfast or lunch? Or a 3 egg omelette with cheese or mushrooms or whatever? Double cream in your coffee instead of milk is a great idea, very filling, and very tasty. Plenty of low carb veggies with your main meal - and a knob of butter on top? Oily fish such as salmon, tuna, sardines, mackerel? Avocado is a good choice, too, and mayo or olive oil on your salads. There are plenty of choices. Just add things to your diet and keep weighing yourself, and keep recording it all in your food diary. [/QUOTE]
