[QUOTE="Sirmione, post: 887134, member: 190454"] We have all been in your position, look on diabetes as a challenge you have to learn about the condition about your body and what you eat. First step is getting into the habit of reading the dietary info label of everything that passes your lips even bottled water, some flavoured waters are loaded with sugar. Once you cut down on the carbohydrates you should see the numbers fall. Most us here have found the guidance on what to eat and what not to eat on the forum much effective than the official NHS dogma on diabetes. It really boils down to avoiding all carbohydrates including pasta, rice, potatoes, breakfast cereals at least to the extent of only having them in very small portions. As carbohydrates provide much of the fuel the body burns to replace them you have to consume a greater proportion of foods which contain fats and oils --- where possible "good" oils. In some ways this will turn what is normally considered a good balanced diet upside, [/QUOTE]
