I am trying to manage Type2DM without meds (I am on Januvia that costs like 100$/mo) and have been trying to manage my CHO intake to 45gr or less each meal...

It's tough, anyone in this group counting CHOs?

    I have a Diabetic recipe book that suggest that when you are carb counting do not add the carbs from Dietary Fiber to determine your carb availability.

    Of course Marco I know that, but many of the food items posted do not take that into consideration so I am finding that I have to continually keep adding the food items, often resulting in errors :S

    I guess that's one of the downfalls of this site it really isnt "Diabetes" friendly for those of us who need/want to count carbs....

    This is an response to an old post but I've just joined to use this very helpful diary facility on MFP.

    I have to duplicate all the information onto a spreadsheet to give meal times, elapsed times between last meal and test, glucose results from tests, and any notes that relate to my management of Pre-Diabetes.

    MFP must be used by people like me and Diabetes 1 & 2 sufferers and I guess they will have created their own management systems that combine MFP and something else......

    How can I suggest this to MFP? Should I? Is it a worthwhile Idea?

    It has been for me, I feel my approach is bringing measurable results but it's a little time consuming.....
