[QUOTE="Fleegle, post: 1503251, member: 402985"] Welcome to the forum - was in your shoes 8 weeks ago now and I will just give you what I have learnt because I had the same reaction as you I think. If I have learnt one thing above all else since being diagnosed, is that you need to re-think everything you have been told in the past and consider it again. For example - breakfast is the most important meal of the day. That may have been true before and may not have been true but your meter will tell you now for sure. The list of things to reconsider may seem long at first - but the people on this forum will help you with their experience and then you can try some of these things out and see how it impacts you. The things I have reconsidered are:- Whole grains are good for you; You need some carbs; You need fruit and vegetables; 5 a day is a great idea; protein doesn't impact BG; fat is bad for you; drugs are good for you... It all needs to be carefully unwound, understood and where appropriate to you - modified. No way can I eat a breakfast of blueberries - but blueberries at tea are fine. [/QUOTE]
