| The best advice I can give you is to test your blood sugar 2 hrs after your first bite of food, so you can find which foods work best for you and be able to make smart/informed food choices.
If you eat something and 2 hrs later you're over 140, you'll know thats something to have only occasionally.
I have done VERY low carb (around 30 gms/day) for a couple of months and while my blood sugars were never better, I couldn't keep on it for very long.
Find what works for you, what gives you your goal numbers and the food you need, and stick with it.
