[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 658521, member: 94045"] Good to see you are being proactive. This disease is very manageable with a bit of effort. You will learn a lot from reading round this forum, where you will find a wealth of information and a great supportive bunch of people. One little tip. You say you have increased your fruit. Please be careful with it. Fruit is full of sugar. Yes, natural sugar, but still sugar. Berries seem to be the best choice. Similarly milk - that is also full of sugar. Carbs are the main culprits in raising blood sugars - spuds, bread, rice, pasta, cereals etc. Chose with caution, and keep the portions small or avoid altogether. You also say you cut out fried stuff. Trust me, as far as blood sugars are concerned, there is no need to do this. Unless you have other health problems stopping you, there is nothing better than bacon and eggs with toms and mushrooms for a diabetic. Are you going to buy a meter? I hope so. They are the best tools we have to help us. [/QUOTE]
