[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 307033, member: 21149"] Hi. Thanks for the info. Baked beans can have a lot of added sugar so go for the low added-sugar versions. Bananas are a no-no for most of us other than in small quantity as they are high-GI which means the carbs are turned to glucose very rapidy causing spikes. Most yogurts may be low fat but are high sugar so go for 0%/0% fat & sugar. I buy Irish yogurts fruit version but natural yogurts may be easier to find. You can have chocolate but go for high % varieties. I buy Green & Blacks 85% but there are other 85% varieties as well. You do get used to the taste of dark chcolcate and I find I don't like milk chocolate anymore! 85% has very low added sugar. Other than that you do seem to have quite a good diet so let's hope the sugars keep coming down. As you will find througout the forum 'test to the meter' i.e. find out what foods affect you most. If needed your Metformin could be increased up to 2000mg and then there are further tablets but let's hope they aren't needed. [/QUOTE]
