[QUOTE="Lazybones, post: 1803118, member: 85347"] To Lee South, Firstly welcome to the Forum. You will learn much here and you are already off to a good start, checking your B/G levels and taking note of the effect that various foods have on the rise in your B/G level. When it comes to Fruit the general rule is to avoid or cut back on Tropical Fruits, which are generally loaded with hidden sugars, and stick to simple fruits like apples and berries with the occasional exotic fruit as a luxury. Avoid tinned fruits which are also often high in syrup sugar content, so always read the labels on the tins carefully. Many of us Type 2 diabetics have great success in following the Low Carb High Fat diet (LCHF) which restricts carbohydrate foods (sugars) and gives us the energy we need through eating the right sort of fats, so I would suggest to you that you look carefully at this, and also look through the forum for information on the LCHF from members who have sucessfully used it to control or reverse their Type 2 diabetes. It all takes time for the body to adjust, and no doubt yours, like many has become accustomed to one type of eating habbit over a period of many years, so give it a little more time and you should see the benifits of cutting back on your intake of carbohydrates.
