How on earth will you ever control your diabetes if you don't reduce your carb intake it's your body not your doctors all he will do is increase your meds until your on insulin,is that what you want? Kyes i know it, but my doctor advised it, he does not agree with low carb diet
Yes @pleinster Ive not much confidence in Police Scotland so far.Our village has been given a set of traffic calming red lights the first to be trialled in Scotland.The HGV drivers on their way to and from Ireland show their objection by blasting horns as they travel through the village during the night.One night,six episodes!Id just had an awful day yesterday seeing GP because of lack of sleep,most nights sinceDecember11th.Her summary of the situation is to say it's not a health matter so ..........?She very reluctantly allowed me seven sleeping tablets.......
Just busy eating my words,the local police have just visited us to give us an update and check times ,dates etc!

i count my calories, my doctor said to eat min 2100 kkal a day but i just eat about 1500 a dayDo you mind making me understand how many carbs per meal per day? Sounds like a lot of carbs for a Type 2 diabetic to consume. Do you count calories too? If I were to eat that many carbs it would send my blood glucose over the roof.
To be honest, I'm so confused, I've started a low carb diet before meeting a doctor but he says low carb diets can cause ketoacidosis, but I think soon start a low carb diet after my meds is out this month
tanks pleinsterThis worried me initially too when I was starting my low carb diet nearly 3 years ago. I don't claim to be an expert but I am now pretty confident that I know more about what had impact on me personally than many supposedly knowledgeable medical professionals going by what many appear to spew out. There is a big difference between ketosis and ketoacidosis. On a low carb diet (if it is very low carb or just low in terms of food), you can be "in ketosis"..meaning that you have a higher than normal number of ketones (chemicals produced when your body consumes fat rather than burning it off because it doesn't have the usual stuff to turn to). I personally doubt that I ever go so low in carb and fat intake to really have an issue with this (and many are more than happy to be in ketosis). I am not saying ketoacidosis is not possible on a very low carb diet (particularly if you are consuming and producing no glucose) but it is rare. Your doctor may be exaggerating, referring to a state of ketosis as ketoacidos (which would be irresponsible and misleading), or just wrong. Check the link below and relax.

Hi @gusbudone the 500 carbs your doctor advised you ate is far too many carbs for a type2 diabetic all it will do is make you put on weight and increase your BG,just reduce the carbs by half and if you have a meter test your BG before you eat and 2 hours after you've eaten. Keep a diary of your BG readings and everything you eat and see what foods cause your BG to rise,this way you will find out what foods spike BG for you either reduce amounts or avoid to keep your BG readings in check. It's called eating to your meter,meaning if it doesn't spike your BG you can usually eat that food without it spiking BG . It's all about trying what foods work for you and what doesn't.To be honest, I'm so confused, I've started a low carb diet before meeting a doctor but he says low carb diets can cause ketoacidosis, but I think soon start a low carb diet after my meds is out this month
