    Thanks for your response, yes getting my head round testing and a routine and learning my numbers is a priority and hopefully over time I will see them start to come down :)

    Thanks for that. So, I've deleted the 2.2 as obv my body went into hibernation and will see if repeats tomorrow, but likely as you say not to be an accurate reading (hopefully!). Good point re the quinoa - more chicken for me in future!

    Many thanks Stephen for your supportive comment. I had my first drink fee day yesterday!!! Going for so long thinking I'm invincible then reality strikes. I've gone down the fingerprick route for now as it's less in your face. Found what looks like a great app for tracking results, carbs and...

    Pasta and curry are my favourite but I guess it’s the sauce where the flavour is so it’s larger portions for me and bulk out with veggies!

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    Just started testing as recently diagnosed. 2.2 this morning which explains the blurred vision and was 10 post meal last night. Need to get this under control!

    Many thanks for taking the time to reply so thoroughly. Eating high fat seems counter intuitive but makes sense if it satiates hunger for longer etc. I'll have to work through all those fat free things I've just bought first!!!

    Brown Rice & Whole-wheat pasta

    I need to shed the pounds! I love my curry's & Italian pasta so looking for low carb alternatives. Are brown rice and whole-wheat pasta good for a low carb diet? What about breads? Gluten free or whole-wheat again or is it total abstinence? TIA
