[QUOTE="JuliaAR, post: 1362785, member: 321813"] Hi, It sounds as if you are an ardent noodle and pasta lover. Have you tried a more healthy alternative by getting a spiralizer and using courgettes to make a noodle-like vegetable alternative? It tastes really good, takes minutes to prepare and is great with all sorts of dishes including bolognese sauce (homemade from scratch of course) pesto (again homemade) and lots of other dishes. Aubergines make a good alternative to flat pasta like lasagne and grated cauliflower is an excellent rice replacement. If you want a good reference to low carbohydrate meals there are some excellent links on this site and also [URL="http://www.dietdoctor.com"]www.dietdoctor.com[/URL]. As suggested above the 10 week introduction to low carb, high fat diet on this site is a great way to get to know which foods make a better choice for you. As it is spread over 10 weeks it gradually takes you from wherever you are now on the healthy food scale so that you can build a better eating style slowly. The low carb diet really seems to help with weight loss from what I have read on this site. However, whilst this is important, more important is to get your blood glucose under control and I go along with what everyone else had said about blood testing. Try making a dairy either with an app or download the diary from this site and fill it in manually. Remember to note down your feelings (i.e. stress, anxiety etc) as this makes quite a difference to glucose levels and test at different times of the day, before and after meals to see if there are any patterns. I was diagnosed about 6 months ago as prediabetic and I have found that going on the low carb high fat diet and testing often has helped me to work out which foods are working for me and which give me glucose spikes. Good luck! :) [/QUOTE]
