[QUOTE="Synonym, post: 142726, member: 22966"] Hi Frogs and welcome to the forum. :) Sorry to hear about your diagnosis and the lack of good solid help so far! :roll: You sound as if you are cutting down on your carbs which help to reduce your BG levels and feeling rough because your body is not used to it yet and then you are topping back up with carbs in order to feel better. Your poor body is on a permanent merry go round! Many of us on here are unable to eat such things as porridge and bananas as they send our BG levels sky high and as for honey instead of demerara the only difference between them as far as your BG levels go (up!) is that one is liquid and the other is not! I will post the 'Advice to newly diagnosed T2s' which is normally posted on here by Sue and/or Ken, our Forum Monitors, and following this carefully will help you to get to grips with your condition and may even help you to reduce your medication rather than increase it. Do read around the forum at the different diet threads and the Food forum and if there are any other questions ask away! :) [/QUOTE]
