Please can I ask for your advice?
I’m a newly diagnosed type 2 and in the time since I’ve found out I’ve been on a very strict low carb diet - always less than 30gm a day. I’ve lost about a stone in the six weeks and although my bmi is now well into the healthy range Id like to lose at least another half stone to put me back to where I was in my 20’s. All well and good, my HB1Ca was 50 - I’m not due to be tested again until the beginning of May but I test myself before and after every meal and have never gone above 7 for the past 4 weeks
It’s a very significant birthday for my husband next week and he really wants to go to a restaurant that we’ve been to before- there’s a set menu, no choices. Would I be ok to just have one meal without counting the carbs do you think? I’ve checked and they cannot accommodate my LCHF request. It would be a one off, the only other time I’ve broken the diet was to have one rich tea biscuit one afternoon but that’s it! He really wants to go to this particularly restaurant, it means a lot to him.
