[QUOTE="woodywhippet61, post: 1611256, member: 418778"] This is what I would do. Get a meter and start testing so that YOU can see what your glucose levels are. Test immediately before eating and then again 2 hours later. This way you can see what effect the food that you have eaten has on your body. This will help you listen to your body. Most people on here use the code free meter because the testing strips are cheaper. If you can afford it I'd recommend the Freestyle Libre because it allows you to Test whenever you feel like it so you learn quickly about your blood glucose levels. You need to eat. To me low carb eating made sense so if I was you I'd start reading about it. Lots of us on here restrict the amount of carbs that we eat BUT we differ in how many carbs we eat. For more in depth dietary advice people on the forum will need to know what meds you are on. If you haven't already found her site google blood sugars 101 I found her advice/information invaluable. Oh and welcome to the forum. [/QUOTE]
