Don't be embarrassed Ray91 research your diabetes. After I did I set my self a limit. I wanted non diabetic figures ALL the time. Vi used my meter and if anything I ate took me over that limit twice I chose not to have it ever again, not even a little of!
Didn't have time to up my exercise regime so I didn't. I lost weight, came off all oral Meds (never on anything else)and still my BGLS came down.
Never again things include potatoes, wheat or any other grain. rice (white or otherwise), fruit (exception berries and occasionally under ripe fruit), pasta, veggies grown underground but at the same time I increased fat. Cream, butter, animal fat, coconut oil, unlimited cheese, pork rind . I even lost a kilo while in hospital for 9 days tied to an IV antibiotic, no gallivanting around corridors for this patient! Secret? Choosing food that I would eat at home and nothing else. Asking for cream and fresh berries instead of 'fruit' and adding butter to my home made porridge mix (flaxseed meal. Almond meal, psyllium husk and xylitol) with hot milk as not one option on the breakfast menu would have worked.
Morning BGLS ranged from 3.9-4.8. I am unmedicated. One nurse commented that I had the BP of a 21 year old.
I think I would be on 30g cabs a DAY. This is my salvation from diabetes.
Reason for hospital stay? A surgical procedure done 7 years that has caused issues for 6 years. Diagnosed with T2 4 years ago. Last HbA1c 5.2. Expect the next to be a little higher due to constant infections.
