[QUOTE="Honeyend, post: 2221546, member: 430576"] To make it simple carbs are mainly from things that are grown in a field and are not green, so any thing made from wheat, barley oats, or says 'healthy grains' avoid. Same goes for any form of potatoe. Fruit stick to berrries, avoid oranges, grapes', the banna and any 'healthy fruit' drinks. If it came from an animal and has none of the above eat it. You can have a sausage but not the sausage roll. Eat cheese yoghurt milk with nothing added. To make it really difficult they have put the carb content on the back of packaging, look for less than 10g per portion. I have a rule of 10, if its 10 or less I will eat it, so I do eat chocolate, just not a whole bar. The best GP to listen to is Dr Unwin, [MEDIA=youtube]OlKDM3SDHPA[/MEDIA] The explaination on 'sugars' in food is about the best, and he will give you hope. If you are not testing I would think about getting a cheap kit. I only test after meals, and aim for under 8. Some people are really good at testing before and after but I snack alot so there really is no after, and its not so much of a chore. So if you numbers are high after a meal the chances are that some carbs have sneaked in. Remember that your doctor and nurse should be helping and if they are confusing you that not your fault.
