[QUOTE="vonbon1, post: 355558, member: 56264"] Hi Mickthered, I was diagnosed 5 weeks ago. Type 2. I started low carb diet and many of my readings have been in the 5's. I have to say I totally cut out potato's, pasta and rice after the first week as my readings were higher. I have found that time of day also can have an effect on your readings. an example of this being just last night. If I have a small bowl of cereal in the morning with some fruit, my readings are around 5.6 -6.3. last night around 9pm having had no dinner I decided it was to late to start cooking, so I had a bowl of cereal. reading 2 hours later 9.4. needless to say I will not be doing that again. There is a lot to take in with diabetes, I have read so much on this site that has been very helpful. but I think to start with we (newly diagnosed) need to take in as much as we can but also need to know when to take a day or two to let it all sink in. You seem to be doing the right thing, cutting out all the things that will put your bg up. you are also right in low carbbing is like Atkins although not as drastic. having done Atkins a few years ago my partner is quite happy that low carbbing doesn't give me dog breath :lol: Trial and error is what seems to work best. I'm sure you'll get to a point where you will know what will put your bg up and what won't. keep asking questions though. good luck vonbon :thumbup: [/QUOTE]
