[QUOTE="nomoredonuts, post: 1786465, member: 271833"] Hi and welcome [USER=473535]@Tiger55[/USER] As Ragmar said, an important start is getting hold of a blood test meter. (NHS says you don't need one). If you test before your oats/ pasta and then test two hours later it will tell you if that food is good/bad for you. Many of us have gone here for one: [URL]https://homehealth-uk.com/product-category/blood-glucose/blood-glucose-monitor/[/URL] though many others are available. The strips here are the cheapest and you can even get discounts off their prices. I'm going to stick my non-medical, non-professional neck out and say with your active lifestyle, you may well do well to try the Low Carb High Fat diet (LCHF) which has helped me. I started out at 104 and dropped to 40-odd within the first months. You are way more active than I ever was. You might upset the NHS, but it's a small price to pay. [/QUOTE]
