[QUOTE="catherinecherub, post: 604777"] Hi netter, Do you have a blood test meter and strips? Have you read the post for newly diagnosed as it is still relevant if you are having difficulties? [url]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/basic-information-for-newly-diagnosed-diabetics.26870/[/url] The testing is the key to success as is working out how many carbs you can eat and control your diabetes. You will see, if you read through the forums, that some people eat 20 grms of carbohydrates where others can go as high as 150 which illustrates that we are all different in our response. It's the same with bread, some can get away with half a slice and some can eat a couple of slices. Fruits vary too. Some can only eat berries whereas others can eat temperate ones. The worst offenders are usually tropical. Small new potatoes are OK for some as are a portion of roasted ones. I did see a post where some people can eat a whole baked one with good results. I have used these as an illustration of how "your mileage may vary" A food diary, a meter and extensive testing usually works. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
