[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1471278, member: 94045"] Hi and welcome, If I had a pound for every newcomer who says they already eat a healthy diet, I would be a rich woman. :) What is healthy for non-diabetics is not necessarily healthy for diabetics I'm afraid. It is likely you will need to examine your current diet and make some changes. The best thing is to look at your carb intake, especially bread, rice, pasta, potatoes and breakfast cereals. We also need to be careful with fruit. Good to see you have cut out the fruit juice. That is a good start, plus the extra exercise. As for the red meat - nothing wrong with that if you aren't a vegetarian! And as to the alcohol, beer is very unwise for blood sugar reasons and also weight reasons, but the good news is a glass of red wine, dry white, or most spirits is fine, all in moderation. Have a good read of Daisy's post when she arrives, and meanwhile read round the forums to see how we are all managing and what we do. Good luck on your journey - keep posting, and ask any questions you like. [/QUOTE]
