And yeah, the dietician they sent me to recommended 45g carb per meal plus two snacks of 15g each!!! At breakfast I can do 15g ONLY if I also have >=20g protein and >=20g fat at the same time. By lunchtime I can have a little more carb if I also balance the fats and protein, and by dinner I can even have more carb than protein or fat. I’m on about 1900 calories, 20% carb, 50-60% fat (trying to limit saturated fat to <25g) and 20-30% protein, just because I figured out my BG works that way. I have lost 35 pounds eating this way in the 6 months since my diagnosis. I eat lots of nuts and other Omega-3 fat, and within a week of starting this diet found my joint pain very much improved and my fibromyalgia also improved; I am WAAAYYY more flexible now than I was 6 months ago. I still weigh 214, but am starting to exercise by stretches and am looking forward to starting swimming soon.
