Shannu Roma replied. Hey Shannu,

You asked me about daal, well even dal,chana,rajma have got carbs. So even that is counted as part of your total carbs. It is so sad. I love to drink daal but I have cut it down to 1/2 cup when I have some other veg. with it.
Even milk and yogurt is counted as carbs.
If you are non veg you can eat checken and mean as they have less carbs and more proteins. Eat eggs and tofu for proteins.

It is such a problem. Even basic food you cannot eat. I can control sweets but when you have to starve it is a punishment.
Where are you from? How many times have u been asked to check?
Ok bye. Do reply & give me tips too.
Roma Roma replied. Hi Shannu,

I am bearing with GD since past few months as mine was detected much earlier. I am due on 20th Feb.
I take 3 meals and 3 snacks too. I don't eat anything for atleast 2 hours after each meal. You can eat white rice too but about 2/3rd cup - 1 cup max.
For snacks I take fruit or milk or anything upto 2 servings of carbs that's upto 30 grams. You can have a sandwich. Eggs are good as they have lots of proteins and no carbs.
If you need any other sugg. please do ask.

Does your sugar shoot sometimes. Mine does. If I eat little more in a meal it shoots. What to do, how much to control& eat.

Take care
