I could write a book on dietary advice
@Annb ,
Bottom line with T2, is what your intolerance level is with carbs.
In other words what spikes you abnormally.
Mine is around 5%.
But then again it is what carbs you are talking about.
Lactose and others ending in ose are really bad for me.
Certain starchy vegetables are bad.
Wheat, grains rice, aren't as bad in minute quantities.
Cooked vegetables are gross.
Salad vegetables are fine.
I cook everything fresh.
I love my meat and certain vegetables but I eat a quantity of fruit throughout the day.
That more or less is me.
Through my experimental phase, cos I only had the help of a friend on this website to help me and my endocrinologist, who had to be convinced that my complete change in my physical health was because of very low carb.
I found my own individual personal diet, tailored to my likes, tastes, affordability and availability.
It doesn't matter if you are told you need to eat or endure unhealthy food for you.
You have to eat what is good and healthy for you.
No matter what it is.
Of course all this experimenting, couldn't have been done without testing my BG levels around mealtimes.
And learning from the results and trends.
And recording them.
And of course doing your FBG level, to post in this thread.
Best wishes.
