[QUOTE="Vikingepigen, post: 75041, member: 18320"] I am still new to all this too, but the sweetner could be part of the higher Bg readings, along with the Mango. HOWEVER, can I suggest you start a food diary? I did and this way I learned about how much I ate, when and how many carbs I had. Because I dropped bread etc. it is not necessarily the right thing for you! See if you can find a cereal without too much added sugar and if you can have that for breakfast without added fruit or sweetner, it would be a start. See how I manage my diet I would call moderate carb intake or Carb management. And in all honesty I would forget DUK diet advice for a moment or two, if you are trying to change YOUR diet. How you feel is far more important and you might not do this all your life, after all. It is finding a starting point and if you need 70 or 100 carbs a day to function, that IS your way. I found Muller Light yogurts have less than 10g carb per 100g and would be an excellent alernative to breakfast or a mid-afternoon snack if you like. If you cannot cope with eggs without bread how about buying Oberland (from Sainsburys). It is German/Scandinavian light sourdough bread, which would be useful if you limit your intake of breads to one slice a day. Or go for full German Ryebread which is filling and low GI if I remember rightly, but do check. And I did get the Collins Carb book an it is excellent and I take with me when go shopping and use it extensively when calculating my meals. Bought it on Amazon for around £3.00 Hope this shed some light for you, but keep asking - you do sound very frustrated and that could put your Bg up too!! Know it is hard, I am still learing and getting to terms with it all, but this place has been so supportive - so keep trying, you WILL find your way. Best Alice Do get the [/QUOTE]
