Hello,
I'm prediabetes and I was under the impression that the lower the amount of carbs the better.
I avoid cereals, breads, french fries; all that stuff and my blood sugar stays even. If I add some of this food, my blood sugar can hit 180-190, which would seem logical as I'm insulin-resistant.
After browsing for type-2 info on this site I came across their "Ten steps to eating well For people with Type 2 diabetes" and #2 says:
"At each meal include starchy carbohydrate foods
Examples include bread, pasta, chapatis, potatoes, yam, noodles, rice and cereals. The amount of carbohydrate you eat is important to control your blood glucose levels....."
If I did that my blood sugar would be constantly elevated and I would eventually transition into full diabetes. If I already had type-2, surely cutting way down on carbs is of life-or-death importance, not eating them at every meal.
Does this seem right to you all?
Thanks,
Bob
