[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 452333, member: 8110"] Guys I have to eat almost no carbs to keep my BG in the range I've set myself [below 5 fasting and below 6 at the end of the day. I take 1 x 500mg Metformin SR in the morning and another at bedtime.] I couldn't get away with eating ANY normal bread, although I do sometimes have a slice of Livlife [4 carbs] or a slice of Burgen soya and linseed [12 carbs]. I avoid old potatoes, but do have a couple of little new ones with my main meal of the day. I've discovered I can't handle noodles or other pasta or more than the smallest portion of fruits. I eat LOADS of vegetables. A lot of them raw. I usually keep a box of home made coleslaw in the fridge. Makes a good low carb snack. I also use Xylitol as a substi5ute for sugar in baking. I bake treats for the family and taste a TINY bit myself. I'm not hungry any more, because I've got used to it all over about 8 years. It's something you do get used to. When Iwas a child the carby snacks that are common nowadays were very rare treats. I may have had crisps once a month or even less and sweets were a small bag once a week. [after they came off the ration o course.] As often as not, my younger brother would steal my sweets. Since he was/ and still is, my mother's favourite, he was never stopped from doing so. My preferred snack was a piece of cheese and still is.Take away food and ready meals hardly existed, so of course Inever got used to having them. I was probaably a teenager before I even tasted a burger [at a Wimpey bar} So for our family it's still good wholesome home cooked food, from basic ingredients. Hana [/QUOTE]
