[QUOTE="Pollylocks, post: 960465, member: 46639"] Hi Kerry and welcome to this forum :) Good that you have a meter...if you test before eating then one hour afterwards you'll see the highest the bs will shoot to and the effect your food has had, then it should be back down after two hours. Having said that, we're all individuals with the 'numbers' spectrum, some foods may affect you and others not. On the whole, pasta, bread, rice and potatoes will more than likely affect your bs as has been said because these carbs all turn to sugar in the blood as well as the obvious sugary foods. I can tolerate rice and milk chocolate [not together lol ;) ] whereas most can't. So your bs meter is your best friend and will tell you whats okay for you. You'll be fine :) [/QUOTE]
