[QUOTE="Crispy17, post: 1177189, member: 134222"] Hi [USER=303498]@Badboydavey1[/USER] welcome to the Diabetes club. As others have said from the information you have given a test to determine whether you are type 1 or 2 seems called for. As far as what you can and can't eat the only opinion that matters is that of your new best friend your BG meter. Test just before each meal and then two hours late. The difference between the two readings tells you what your body can deal with, anything that causes your BG to spike too high will need to be reduced or even cut out completely. Its worth keeping a food diary as well as this will make it easier to spot the culprits that cause BG spikes for you. We all differ in the foods we can and can't eat, as an example, I cannot tolerate any bread, cereal, pasta or root veg as all cause huge increases in my BG levels. Slightly bizarrely though I can eat apples which have natural sugars and yogurts which often have added sugars with either little or no increase in my BG. There's lots on friendly people on here and a great pool of experience and knowledge for you to draw from so don't hesitate to ask any questions you have. [/QUOTE]
