[QUOTE="pleinster, post: 1075606, member: 221545"] Hi...really good advice from all above. Zero sugar...cut the carbs. My own intake is less than 40g carbs total per day, often less than 20g. You have three options - 1] consider it too radical a change and watch your BS level climb over time; 2] Be brutally extreme and cut all sugar and all carbs (or as many as possible); or 3] Gradually adapt - cut as much sugar as you can immediately, then start looking at the labels and recognising how many carbs are in a product while you benefit from the sugar reduction and get used to it and while you inform yourself about what are high and low carbs, and finally cut out all "simple" carbs (starting with bread, cereal, spuds and pasta) and limit yourself to low carbs (mostly veggies that grow above ground) -leaving you with beef, pork, meat, fish, chicken etc and a range of veg. BUT it's only be recording progress via meter testing and notes on what you eat that you will see for yourself that this works..and that it's not as difficult as it sounds. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
