[QUOTE="Ruth B, post: 639758, member: 111960"] Most of us are told not to test but most of us go ahead and test anyway as we see it as the best way of know if foods effect us or not, and therefore testing is a way of giving ourselves control over the situation. With testing, is it the results that stress you or the testing process itself. Stress will probably put your levels up as well. As far as weight loss goes, some here prefer the quick, fairly harsh diets, and no doubt will be on to tell you the options soon enough, I started counting the carbs more and that has been enough to control the BS and help me loose weight, all be it at a slower rate. When buying anything, check the total carbohydrate content on the lable not just the sugar content, all carbs become sugar. How much carbs you can manage depends on how well your body can process it, recommended levels are about 250-300g per day, I manage at 100-120g per day, others are better going as low as 30g per day. It sounds against common advise, but you might find that you need to increase your fat intake by changing to full fat options, which incidently normally contain less sugar as well. [/QUOTE]
