[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1646326, member: 459333"] I think this is the key to a lot of it, certainly has been for me. Right now you'll be in the dark as to what your blood sugar is doing and how it reacts to various foods. You can only get so far if you just rely on other people telling you what works for them. Don't even trust popular books with alleged recipes for diabetics in - some will tell you that oats and wholemeal bread are better than cornflakes and white bread. You may find that's true for you, but for me there's no real difference - my body seems very good at extracting carbohydrates from any food I give it! Same with exercise - you may find that's a really useful way of getting your blood sugars in a healthy range, and certain types work better than others for you. This time next year you'll probably have learned so much about yourself that you wouldn't even consider eating one potato because you don't like what it does to your blood sugar. The good news though, is that by that time you'll also have probably learned about all sorts of new foods that you like, and you don't actually want the potato anyway. [/QUOTE]
