I've been lurking for a while and decided it's time to introduce myself. I have T2D and after some experimenting (including ignoring it altogether), I've come to the conclusion that LC is the way for me. I concentrate on my bg readings. I don't necessarily count carbs or calories. To keep my readings down, I keep my carbs down. Generally 20g or less per meal with 10g or less at breakfast. This is working for me. I find this way of doing LC is less stressful and manageable for me. And it's working! My bg are trending downward as is my weight.

I really like this site because there seems to be all kinds of low carbers here. The advice is good and plentiful and respectful.

My next challenge is to work in a work out or two.

    MY H has lost over 40lbs and has cleared himself of T2D... He has fewer that 50g of carbs/day..... Which is what worked for him....

    Welcome to the Group.
    The people here are an amazing crew and there's so much yet to learn! Lovely to meet you!

    Welcome! Great work so far!
    I know I've heard great things about even a simple leisurely paced, 10 minute walk after meals for better blood sugar. Might be a good way to start some exercise. ;)

    I first got acquainted with LC when I got pregnant with my 2nd and had gestational. I pretty much threw out all that they suggested and went LC. I had great success until I got back to the SAD. Now I'm back with great results. Welcome and wishing you great success!! It's a great group and highly supportive!

    Thanks for the warm welcome. I've been mostly keeping on track. I'm going to work in a couple of walks after lunch and dinner. It's going to take a little more lifestyle change to workout before/after breakfast. Small steps (and portions) work well for me.
