[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 327955, member: 12578"] Hi, There are carbs in fruit/veg/milk as well as the starches. As you get more experienced you will find that knowing the amount of carbohydrate you are eating helps you to adjust your insulin. Being able to do this means you can be quite flexible about your meals. The sort of things your Nurse is talking about aren't good for anybody (we all know that). If you eat them between meals then they will make your glucose levels rise . They are probably not a good idea to eat them , particularly between meals at the moment. You will find that in the future, you can eat the odd chocolate cake . If you are like me, you may find that you won't want them so often. ( I find some foods often taste over sweet) I won't say any more as the more I write the complicated it sounds. It takes time to learn, it takes time to understand what your body does and thats absolutely normal. One thing I would say is, though I know it's a chore , it really does help if you write a food/insulin/glucose level/exercise diary. You probably won't keep a detailed one up (well I certainly don't , I download my meter for those results). It does though help you to see what does what. [/QUOTE]
