[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 643452, member: 21149"] Hi. Yes, you should be receiving some guidance on the use of insulin over the first few weeks. Do let us know what type of insulin you are using and how often you use it each day. Although the dietician is sort of correct in that nothing is off limits, carbs need to be kept down but it is essential that you keep measuring with the meter to keep the insulin in line with the carbs you are having to avoid hypos. Snacks are normally not a good idea for diabetics as they tend to increase overall carb intake. I suspect the guidance is to minimise hypo risk but in the longer-term that is best controlled by the right insulin regime and carb-counting etc. I'm not keen on veg but tolerate some of it. Raw carrots are good. Some fruit is low-GI and OK such as berries. Avoid exotic fruit. Cheese is great and so are nuts. 85% Dark Chocolate is OK. Do you like eggs and bacon; I have them for breakfast? [/QUOTE]
