but as a diabetic looking to loose weight is it best to limit the carbs cals or both. At moment im doing the carbs low as i can but have seen in last few days my cal count has gone up a bit but this does not seem to have affected my BG levels
cheers

Hi @gail2 to be honest, I do both to a greater or lesser degree
Carbs iro 130
Cals iro 1200

My weight is now more or less where I want it to be and my BG is fine but could be a little lower, just to give me some wriggle room
