[QUOTE="OB87, post: 2437321, member: 532114"] Do you test your blood sugars before and after meals? If not I really recommend it as you can see what you can tolerate. You might be able to still have a couple of potatoes for example but any more will increase your blood sugars. Portion size can make a difference. I still eat carbs but my portions are a lot less compared to what i had previously. But you get used to it. Have you looked into carb alternatives? Livlife bread is really tasty and the carbzone wraps are also good. We make a great potato dauphinoise but with celeriac instead of potato. I can't tell the difference. Its just lovely and creamy! Once you get used to it, it isn't as bad as you think. And you will feel better . I'm coming up to a year post diagnosis too, I still have down days when I just can't believe it's happened. [/QUOTE]
