[QUOTE="Lisa65, post: 144603, member: 27592"] hiya, I am in a similar position to you having only been diagnosed the other week. This is the info that Sue and/or Ken, the forum monitors usually give to new type 2's. I personally don't eat muesli or any grain based food at the moment, as i imagine even the "no added sugar" varieties are high in carbohydrates regardless. You may need to reduce your portion size if you normally have a big bowlful of it. Finding out what you can or can't eat is an arduous process involving a lot of testing and sore fingers from all the pricking. But it's really the only way you will find out what foods suit you and how much of each one you can cope with, and start to get those levels stable. Because I knew I would be testing a lot in the early stages I have also bought a load of extra strips off ebay to supplement the ones from the GP. You might also wish to do this, they tend to be about half price on there. Good luck :) Lisa [/QUOTE]
