I'm have posted once before as I have only been diagnosed a couple of months. I am confused about the advise given by the nurse and wonder if anyone can help me clarify it. She said anything under 5gs of sugar per 100gs would be the best thing to look at as far as diet goes. So am I looking at grams of carbs, or grams of carbs that are sugars? If it's the second one then pasta, bread and crisps seem to be OK, but this can't be surely?! Can anyone help, as I have been healthy eating, lost half a stone in the last month but bs seems to not move from between 13 to 16. Help please x
Is this only availble for mobile phones/tablets do you know? I'd love to know instantly what's in my food but I only have my laptop@LinziC78 do you keep a food diary? I use my fitness pal website. If you put in your food for each meal it calculates the carbs, calories etc. I find it very useful for keeping me on track
Your list has a similar format to the one handed out by my surgery and I have often thought of making my own version. Your one doesn't quite fit my non spiking food but it is not far off so I have stolen a copy and will modify it. Thanks.I have produced my own crib sheet that I use as an Aide Memoire. Its stuck on our larder door as a family reminder of my personal set of rules.
I recently shared a copy with my T1D buddy who has been having real swings and roundabouts on his pump, and he is reporting much more stable bgl's and has cut down on his insulin. We gigged together just last week, and he did not hypo at all, which is an improvement
I have also given a copy to my GP and my DCN. I now share it with you all. It is not a full list, but it works for me,

I have simular questions
I have found to many carbs raise the sugars to.
Also big meals
Small portions of low carb seems to work best for me.
