[QUOTE="4ratbags, post: 916779, member: 102832"] If you eat to your meter you will be able to eliminate which foods spike your BS and those that don't. It can be hard to get the balance right but please do persevere as it is important for your health. There are some great links in sanguine's signature so definitely click on those for a read. Generally for T2's it is under 5.5 fasting, before meals should be between 4-7mmol and 2 hrs after meals under 8.5mmol. This is just a general guide though and some members aim for lower numbers and some are happy at higher numbers. It is really up to you to decide what numbers you are happy with. It might be a good idea to try and find something to replace the rice cakes, potatoes and flat breads as they are most probably causing some of your BS woes. There is generally a low carb alternative for almost everything. I get most of my recipes on Pinterest, I've found recipes for bread, slices, muffins, fudge slice and many more so you don't have to feel like you are missing out. Just remember that it will take time for your body to adjust so don't despair, you will get there :) [/QUOTE]
