[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1455766, member: 94045"] I would steer clear of the herbal remedies, at least until you can sort out your diet. Kidney beans, ryveta, apple and couscous would raise my levels. Tuna is good, and so is salmon. They both contain Omega 3 which is essential for heart health and cholesterol. Perhaps dress your salad with either olive oil or Hellman's real mayonnaise. Both these have Omega 3. Chicken and gammon are also good. In fact any meat is good. Sausages are also good providing you buy the 97% meat ones that are low in carbohydrate. Do you like a nice fry up? Bacon, egg, a tomato and mushrooms? Salad leaves and some vegetables are good. It is the root veg that contain the most carbs, such as potatoes. Cheese, butter, cream, plain full fat yogurts are all good. Use your meter to help you with your food choices. Test before you eat and again 2 hours after first bite. Look at the rise - that is what that meal did to your levels. If you keep a food diary including portion sizes and record your levels alongside, you will soon see which foods are good and which are not so good. If that rise is above 2mmol/l there are too many carbs in the meal that need reducing or eliminating. The 2mmol/l rise target is util you get the hang of things and have found a suitable diet, then the aim is to get it even lower. [/QUOTE]
