I eat and eat - 5 times a day at the moment, and have accepted advice from all these "also underweight" people here, but still it goes down, and non-diabetic people say well you'll have to eat carbs then, and I think no, that's daft. Food is food so any will do, not just carb-laden stuff. So I am now adding in extra cold meat to my snacks (I think Hana advised that) as well as what I was eating before. My snacks are now cheese, nuts, berries AND meat! and will soon be meal sized - that's every 3 hrs now! I have even fried bacon for supper in addition to nuts and cheese. I've upped my veg portions tentatively at proper meals. It's a fight - I never exercise deliberately now. Just whatever happens in the day happens.Graham - thanks for that bread lead. I'll google it. Fergus's was great but it did affect my bgs even if I only ate an eighth of a cob at once. Maybe my pancreas has recovered a bit now so I could try again but I'll look up these too.We "underweighters" need to gang together with advice and help!DG</blockquote>
