I eat what ever I want, so long as the total carbs stay below 60, 710 if I am splurging. This means I have potatoes, bread, pasta, and yes, sometimes even a sweet. Portion size is critical. I used to have a plate of pasta for a meal, now it is a side, with a protein and veges completing the meal. The "plate method" is a general guideline I use.

I do tend to stay away from the empty carbs, like sweets, but even that is not an absolute.

I was diagnosed with an a1c of 14.7. My last a1c was 5.7. I do also take Janumet.
