Good App Or Method For Carb Counting?

Hi all,

What To Eat That Won’t Blow Up My Blood Sugar?

This is a somewhat common post in this group.

Many are trying to heed the advice of their Doctor or other Diabetes Specialist and might be a little confused or even apprehensive about eating something because they are worried about what it will do to their sugar levels.

What (they) usually give us is a list of what NOT TO EAT which doesn’t help.

My own diet has evolved quite a bit since I was first diagnosed in 2016. Today what I eat looks nothing like the first foods that were on my “safe… read more

Will You Take 10 Mins To Fill Out A T2D Self Care Community Survey?

I was diagnosed with T2D in 2017 and I did everything that the doctor said.

Lately I have realized that the only other place that is as efficient as the expected life of a type two diabetic …is… a prison. I feel I am officially, efficiently imprisoned.

Is A Low Carb Diet Hazardous To Our Health?

There has been a number of discussions "how many carbs is enough, too much etc".

A low carb diet can help (or totally) manage your blood sugars.

Low Carb is not a standard definition but most agree that it's 150 net carbs a day or less.

Two large Diabetes Remission studies determined that if you want to achieve remission (A1C under 5.5) "without meds" then 130 net carbs/day seems to be the maximum.
