On this forum and I am a perfect example of how it works, we recommend that you lower your carbs, and starchy veg, find foods that don't raise your blood glucose levels so much.
I low carb and don't eat much bread grainy foods, cereals, rice and starchy veg like potatoes, fruit in moderation, no pasta. What I eat is mainly meat and veg with pulses
I have lost 5stone in two years and I'm healthier and fitter.
Have a look in the low carb forum for dietary ideas and recipes, have a look in the thread, 's hat have I eaten today's that will give you loads of ideas.
Even simple walking can lower your blood glucose levels a bit and everything helps
We recommend testing before meals and 2 hours after. This will give you a baseline of what food is doing to your blood glucose levels. If you go above 2mmols after 2 hours, then there is something is 'spiking' you. Keep a record of what you eat and test and experiment.
If however, your blood glucose levels continue to rise, seek medical advice.
Control of what you eat and your blood glucose levels is the most important part in feeling better and fitter
Hope this helps. Do have a look around the forum and read about the success stories on the forum.
