[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1459089, member: 94045"] I have no idea why the nurse told you to test at those times. It makes no sense and tells you nothing about what your food is doing to you. The NHS dietary advice is dreadful, and that makes no sense either, but I expect your nurse will push the Eatwell Plate on you, as she is obliged to do. You will do better to buy your own strips as you will need many thousands of them. Stress is certainly a BIG factor in raised blood sugar levels. Insulin users can eat more carbs because they can inject insulin to cover the amount they are eating. Diet only or Metformin T2s can't do this if they want to get and keep control. Our insulin is either insufficient, or not working as it should due to insulin resistance. You can have some carbs, but it is wise to avoid or seriously reduce breakfast cereals, bread, potatoes, rice, pasta and anything made with flour. They are too starchy. Your body may tolerate small portions of these but only a meter can tell you this. We also need to be careful with fruit (especially juices) and milk. This is a very good place to start [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/60-seconds[/URL] [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
