Disappointed

[Piano333]

I am really disappointed in the lack of feedback I am getting from you guys regarding my carbs daily intake. Don't see any point in being a member.

Guess it might be time for me to

unsubscribe.

Good luck to you all

Let me know your condition and queries. I will try to assist you if I can.

General Advice about carbohydrate for T2D:

Blood glucose response to carbohydrate differers from person to person. We as diabetics can not process carbohydrate as efficiently as non-diabetics. We should consume carbohydrate as per our tolerance levels. I keep my carb intake under 50 gm per day. In fact. it is mostly 30 - 35 gm because at this level I can maintain my blood sugar in healthy range without any medications.

I do not know your conditions fully. I suggest you avoid GPS from your diet.

G: Grains e.g. Bread, Rice, Pasta, Legumes etc.

P: Potatoes

S: Sugar

Regarding a number, it depends on your conditions. If you are overweight also, I would suggest you should consider ketogenic diet to start with where carb is limited about 25 gm or so. After 3- 4 weeks you can experiment with increasing the carb intake.

Most trustworthy guide in your journey will be a Glucose Meter with test strips. That way you will know which food gives high spikes to blood glucose so that you can eliminate or reduce the consumption of such food.

Equally important is replacing the shortfall in energy with healthy fats. Look at the dietdoctor.com website- you will get many useful information.

Do not hesitate to get back to the forum with any further questions.

I started to drink extra olive oil mixed with lemon juice twice a day. Morning on an empty stomach. Apparently, it lowers cholesterol and is real good for the heart.Has anyone heard of that?

I have been trying to get my head around carbs but there appears to be very little knowledge about something that is supposed to be so major to wellbeing in diabetes help
