[QUOTE="candy1567, post: 48390, member: 12897"] Hi brixhamrfc I dont know if its the same for your wife but when i first started on byetta my sugars where all over the place, up and down like a yo yo i nearly gave up honestly So what i did was look around this forum especially about low carb eating (i hate the word diet as that word does something in my brain which spells restriction!!!) Anyway i followed it to the letter for a week having no more than bout 20 to 30 carbs a day until i was sick of looking like a vedge. Then i tried to introduce different foods i found that a i could have bread in moderation and brown rice, but potatoes and pasta really effects my sugars. I dont feel so restricted now, one thing i do have to avoid is bananas, i was wondering what was putting my sugars up in the morning, but as i dont like eating first thing the nurse said it was ok to have a banana, wrong move. And on a lighter note my partner has just taken me for a chinese as a treat, god i was soooooo worried about all the food but even eating soup and a curry my bs after 2 hrs was 7.4 which is bloody brilliant for me Try not to become to fixed on the numbers, i try to look at it as a healthier way of eating otherwise i know i havn't got the willpower if i think am being denied all the goodies Tell your wife to keep her chin up and use this forum, its great for the support Juliexx [/QUOTE]
