[QUOTE="dbr10, post: 1479882, member: 174581"] I think I would get a meter, test before meals and two hours afterwards; then see which foods cause the biggest spikes and try to eliminate them. Try the LCHF diet to see if things improve. They should. I was told not to test, like most of us are. I ignored this because you obviously can't have any kind of control over blood glucose if you don't know what's happening. I realised that the diet advice was wrong and that the treatment was inadequate. Two months after diagnosis my faith in the NHS to look after me was just about destroyed. Someone will post the post prandial targets. I try to aim for a post meal reading of less than 6 if possible and eat very few carbs. I do take metformin. Avoid bread pasta root vegetables and cereals. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
