[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 276429, member: 40343"] Great news Carilina glad you've seen such a quick improvement. Now apart from sugar which all diabetics know about then just remember to cut down as much as it takes on the next culprits which are rice, pasta, potatoes, bread, cereals and anything else made with flour. Do that enough and your levels will normalise. Yes its going to be difficult BUT don't think of it as a diet so eat as much of other stuff as you want to not get hungry especially at the start. For lunch today I had bacon, egg and mushrooms so its not all bad! Try swapping to brown or tri colour pasta, brown rice and get Burgen soya bread if you can. If you eat potatoes try and restrict to a couple of boiled potatoes or better still eat roast potatoes, mashed potato is probably the worst thing a diabetic can eat and ranks alongside eating a handful of sugar. Eat as much veg as you can handle. Try to eat veg that grows above ground as any that grow below may be starchy like potatoes. Try and drink a good amount. If like me you really can't face drinking loads of water drink diet coke or similar. As long as what you drink is "diet" it should be fine. Don't feel bad about going out every so often and having a good time but on normal days try and remember the "rules". If you need help then just keep asking. If you get a bad reading then do what others do and post up what you had in the meal and loads of people will help you. [/QUOTE]
