I had to cut out all grains, potatoes etc i.e. 'starchy carbohydrates' before I started to feel any better. It is about 6 months since I was diagnosed and thanks to the good advice found on this forum my Hba1c last week was 5.5  so I am really chuffed as you can imagine!  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> You can do it too if you work at it. Test before you eat and after 2 hours so that you can see what foods you need to cut down or cut out. I wish you well and look forward to hearing how you get on. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
