[QUOTE="xfieldok, post: 1825686, member: 460785"] Marcus I have just been reading another of your posts. I actually think you are doing very well given your circumstances. From the day of diagnosis I stopped eating bread, pasta, rice and pasta. Of course I made mistakes there was much rooting around in the bin to retrieve labels to see what had caused a spike. When you start low carb you can go through withdrawal. I did! Twice I ran to the corner shop to buy a packet of crumpets. Another time I munched my way through half a packet of ryvitas. I absolutely hate to admit this to you, but the worst thing I did was to walk into town and have a KFC! So. Don't worry about your fasting BG, but it's good to have the data. It will probably be the last number to get under control. Concentrate on the difference between your before and after meal. If the number is over 2 then your meal contained two many carbs or the portion was too large. If you need to snack, carry 30g of peanuts. Keep coming back to us to tell us what you're eating and we will either shout at you or give you a high five! Stick with it, I promise it will get easier. [/QUOTE]
