[QUOTE="Tirianne, post: 917963, member: 196322"] Thank you to everyone who's taken time to reply. I've been exploring the forum and links and am beginning to understand things a little better. Good idea about rice cakes and flat breads - I will try without them for a few days. I'm still slightly confused as to whether to follow a very low carboydrate diet and whether to go for the higher fat content - but as I'm really trying to get my weight down - I'm reluctant to eat high calorie fats as some people are doing (eg cream) I suppose it's a case of 'eating to the meter' - and finding what's helpful - or not!! Over the past few days, I've noticed that I now have the same BG readings in the morning before breakfast as the BG testing 14 hours the night before. Then today, when doing a monthy urine test (I have some test sticks left over from when I had UTI for some weeks) the ketone level was very high. So I called the doctor and a helpful guy called back and said 'nothing to worry about' - and presumably this is because I'm 'burnnig up fat' - especially after a week of long walks (quite a new experience for me!!) One other quick question - is coffee good or bad.... (I have 2 cups a day) I remember hearing something about it, but would appreciate any links or advice. [/QUOTE]
