yeah it is fked...no more pizza, pasta, bread, rice or potatoes

Went in in march of 07 AIC was 7.6...MD said whoops...she said can you do it on your own or do you need help. She said 60 grams of carbs a day and not all at once..and the magic words U can eat all the meat cheese and veggies you want..so I thought Ohhh you mean I can have two 16 oz Ribeye steaks if I want!, not that I do it..Asked her if I needed to get the meter and she said NAW...

I lost about 50lbs and have kept about 40 of them off. Currently am moderating eating a bit to bring it back down about 10. The last 3 A1C were 6.1, 6.3 and 6.5 with 5.9 being a high normal. I take the med

Wasn't hard to do, I call it my Buffet diet.. in the 3.5 years I have had 5 baked potaotes, only an occasional sample of pizza at Sams club when they have em..and I have really moderated carbs..sticking to under 100 grams per day. I check all packaging for carbs and avoid it if it is too high

The only place that I can't really figure is in fruit..watermelon, fresh pineapple etc

Lately I have had some Popcorn..but I measure out the 3 tablespoons for roughly 20 grams of carb...

Everything including the bread I eat is low carb..I will have 3 corn tortilla for 21 grams of carb. Or I will make a serving of Rice noodles instead of rice with Asian food.

At a Buffet I don't go near the carbs just meat, fish, salad, and I hit the sugar free deserts..on a piece of pie I eat the filling but not the crust.
