If you’ve lost two stone and have good blood sugars with your current approach then I’d carry on with what you’re already doing and not start counting carbs or calories. Especially as you can’t change your diet as prepared by carers.

How many carbs you need/should be having will depend on what insulin and other medications you take so it is hard for people to give you a definitive answer. But you may be able to come up with a menu plan that would suit you by looking at some ideas in the Freshwell link and adapting to what you need and what your carers are able to provide for you. https://lowcarbfreshwell.com/
You may be better buying good quality food for yourself as you seem to have the funds to do that.

Your diet (from the other topic you posted.) seems to be tailored for you? With regards to weight manament & BG control. Sounds like you are on fixed dosage of insulin. From your other topics with further health investigations. It would be wrong of anyone on this forum to suggest a different diet to the one proposed by your HCPs.
