[QUOTE="lilibet, post: 51877, member: 11459"] Hi shaun Recommended intake per day is around 230 or 250g is it not? Thats what is says on side of some food labels. Cant really add any more to whats been said except to say that four rounds of bread, crisps, scones, biscuits, cereal are all things that most well controlled diabetics would avoid like the plague. Along with pasta, rice, noodles to any great degree though some people still have bits of this from time to time. I personally have chucked cereal, crisps and only have one slice low GI Bread(Burgen) for my lunch. I have tiny bits of pasta, no noodles, and tiny tiny bits of rice. I can tolerate new potatoes for some reason, but not baked and I can tolerate wholemeal tortillas but not scones. The key is to test and as you've already been told running that high in the long term is not healthy, However, its what suits you and what you can cope with that matters. Its a bit of a bummer to give everything up (as we all know) so your choice is to cut down and see how it goes, or increase your novo to cover the carbs in your grub. However this wont stop spikes which are thought to cause the damage too along with prolonged highs. 6.4 is a good a1c but doesnt cover the 'grey areas', ie post meal readings. As for being told its too low. That obviously happens a lot in the NHS hence Fergus pre emptive post. They wont be happy until we are one legged blind people, waiting for replacement kidneys and a bloody heart bypass! :evil: L PS Also read somewhere that depending on intensity of exercise this can raise blood sugar initially, so maybe need to factor this in. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
