[QUOTE="KateA, post: 2126339, member: 167453"] Well done [USER=492446]@LoubyLou 2[/USER]. I had the same experience when as a long term hospital patient, the diabetes was ignored. The food was pumped with carbs and Ihad my blood sugars tested before a meal. After 4 months I just gave up. Now I am a born again keto kid having lapsed. There is a lot of pointers, advice in these forums and the wider website. I spent hours every night devouring information. You have a meter, please start using it. Testing 2 hours after you finish you meal will let you see the effect the food has had on you. As [USER=506169]@ianf0ster[/USER] says, we are all different so trust your meter. One thing I would say is you mentioned "carbs that you know are sugary", I am not sure what you meant by that. For example would bread, rice or pasta be considered sugary carbs? Probably not but still the enemy, in my opinion. I am also vegetarian, but lacto/ovo. Eggs and cheese are a big part of my diet. I can eat fried cheese and keep my bs level and lose weight, it is like a dream come true. Read, ask questions, read more, try things out and test, test, test. [/QUOTE]
