[QUOTE="Red_river_, post: 1613251, member: 448756"] I am surprised to hear low fat often means more sugar! Thanks for the tips I will check from now. The more I read about what food is good for diabetes the more confused I get. First I simply thought I will have whole or brown instead of white. It appears that even whole wheat still loads with carb. So I try not to have any rice, bread or potato altogether, substitute by beans. I had chickpeas for dinner tonight, only to find out after that a cup of chickpeas means double of carbs for a potion. I had porridge with milk for breakfast, and just learnt that porridge can send bg through the roof!! I thought I was doing ok, now it's all wrong!! Can somebody tell me what number to look for when shopping for stuff please! And how much is a potion? Why morning is when bg is highest? So many questions my head hurts now!!! I guess I can find the answers online but as I am here and was encouraged to ask questions... This evening I had a crave for pizza!! You know when you know you can't have sth then you'd die for it!, I always make pizza from scratch with anchovies and olive, no cheese. Would a slice be okay? Seems since I go for low carbs, I've got kinda light headed feel a lot of time. Is it normal? Anybody experienced the same thing? I felt much better last two days and now I feel rubbish again. One week today since I was diagnosed, or is it two weeks? I can't even remember now.. Sorry to pour all this frustration out on you lovely people [/QUOTE]
