Expecting improvement

[NearlyWellBeing]

Didn't try home made soup again yet.

Following FreshWell week 2 and reading up about blood test results, but generally no change. I keep thinking we might have to start counting carbs. I don't want to count carbs. However, Lunch I seem happy to try just having a soup from the vending machine. Is that going to work. Doesn't seem to be a problem but doesn't seem to be doing much either.

Sigh. Loaded the Carbs & Cals app. carbs counter.

You don't need to get too hung up on 'carb counting' but just estimate what carbs there are in the portion you are having so you have an idea of how much you are having at a meal. Obviously that together with testing before you eat and 2 hours after will tell you that the meal was OK if the increase was less than 3mmol/l if not then too many carbs and you know what to do next time, reduce the portion of the high carb component and have more veg.
Serious carb counting really is for those taking insulin.
