Type 2 Diabetes

Hi, I have Type 2 Diabetes & I struggle with knowing how many carbs to eat. Is anyone in the same boat?

Hello rosie72 and welcome to the forum. I'm afraid we are not medically trained so cannot advise you on carbohydrates or any specifics in your diet. Did you have any advice from your GP when you were diagnosed? If their advice was to follow a healthy diet then the 12 week plan is an excellent staring point.

Best wishes

Perhaps have a look at The Blood Sugar Diet by Michael Mosley or Diabetes UK to give you some ideas.

Have you met with a diabetic educator? I am insulin resistant and GLP defficent. Type 2, I am to try to keep 35 mg of carbs each meal. Make sure you read all labels! Ask your doctor how many carbs for each meal. One way to remember if it is white it is full of carbs, and there are good and bad carbs. I'm sure your doctor can give you a diet or just look on line. Right now my A1C is up and I take Farxgia 10 mg and metaformin 1000 in the am and at night another 1000 metaformin. I need to exercise more but suffer from horrible migraines so I do what I can when I can Good luck get with a diabetic educator it will make life much easier.
