[QUOTE="acron^, post: 30960, member: 11804"] Hi, I was diagnosed about a month ago now so I'm just getting my self settled and into a routine for diet. Basically, there are a lot of things I [i]don't[/i] know about the kinds of carbs I should be eating/avoiding. I understand the general pointers regarding eating wholemeal etc etc, but there are still things I need answers to: 1 - When I look at the nutritional contents table on a food package, I automatically look at the carbs. What is it exactly I should be looking for? It often says "Carbohydrates - Of which are sugars/starch/saturates". What does that mean? 2 - Fruit; I've heard people on here both saying fruit is good and bad. And what's fructose? Is it the same as glucose? Does it affect my BG? 3 - My DN told me cholestoral is too high (5, should 4) but I'm struggling to find ways of cutting it down. I'm 23, my BMI is 23. I don't even understand why it's high! What should I be avoiding? Your advice is much appreciated! [/QUOTE]
