I think you need to look at total carb content, not just the sugar. I try to keep most meals in the 10-20 carb range with a couple of 10 carb snacks. If I'm exercising I will eat a higher carb/protein snacke before or after exercise. A lot of your carb count depends on where your blood sugars test. You want to stay between 120-140 , 2 hours after a meal.

I'm a 30 -45 -30 and a 15g snack. Sometimes I don't have dinner so break the last 30 into two 15's, so 30-45-15s-15s-15s. I try to keep my meals 4hrs or more appart, and snacks at least 2.5 hrs but prefer 3hrs.

When I was first diagnosed T2 ten about ten years ago, my nutritionist put me on the ADA (American Diabetes Association) food exchange program of 45 grams total carbs per meal, with the addition of vegetables at lunch and dinner, about another 10 grams altogether. My proteins were 1 ounce at breakfast, 2 ounces for lunch and 3 ounces for dinner. Fats were limited, too. This works out to be a 1,200 calorie per day diet as well. It was very...

I've been noticing that whenver I eat some nuts between lunch and dinner, I lose my appetite. Does anyone experience this? I can't be the only one. Or perhaps there is something wrong with me. Usually, it's roasted peanuts or redskin spanish peanuts (both salted). When I have about 15g of these, I immediately lose my appetite. For example, if I have some redskin spanish peanuts too close to dinner, I have to almost skip dinner....

Why not try a bottle its cheap enough. I have used Valeran Root and Evening Primrose for this. It so helps me sleep it isnt funny. I have heard from others a dose of about 300 mg is what is needed. If others have used it please chime in.

If you make Italian Wedding Soup try using kale for the greens instead of spinach. Yummm. Given that potatoes is a primary ingredient, if not...

This does sound really yummy. I dunno about eating something called "chutney" though (just kidding)!
