[QUOTE="Travelling Man, post: 951398, member: 209612"] I should first say I'm a Brit living in Portugal so there's always a degree of language barrier but my Doc said I need to eat 6 times per 24 hour period but always small servings or just something to nibble on & no large meals. - Subtract 8 sleeping hours from the 24 hour cycle, then divide by 6 & I need to eat something every 2.66 hours. She said I can eat anything I like (in moderation) except sugar & to try to choose non white carbs whenever possible...... So for example, to eat brown rice or seedy bread rather than white rice or white bread etc. - I was also told that fruit or nuts are a better snack than crisps or crackers/water biscuits etc. As for drink, she says plenty of water & soft drinks such as Coke Zero, no beer or sweet wines but dry red or white wine is OK & dry red is better than dry white As for conversions from mmol/l to mg/dl: I was first tested at 649 mg/dl which the internet tells me equals 36.11 mmol/l [URL]http://en.mte.cz/conversion.php?mmol=&mg=650&count_it=1[/URL] No idea if that's right though. If anyone out there thinks I'm being given the wrong info, please do tell me? [/QUOTE]
