[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 340108, member: 21149"] Hi. Yes a wholemeal grain bread ham sandwich is fine together with homemade soup (no corn starch thickener!). Burgen bread is better if you take to the taste which I don't; I buy a low-GI loaf from my local baker which is great and tastes like wholemeal. Fruit is a mixed bag. It can be high in fructose which is not good in large amounts. Avoid bananas unless fairly unripe; also melons etc which obviously have a high sugar level. Veg is excellent but root veg when cooked can be fairly high in carbs. I agree with Lukkymik that we are all different but I think his target of 9-10 is unusual. Best to be guided by the NICE Diabetes Pathway guidelines which can be downloaded from the web. With a meter you will soon find out what your normal range should be and you can set targets from there; I think NICE recommends staying below 8.5 on the meter. When diagnosed I was usually below that but now I go into the teens quite often which I know isn't good for me. [/QUOTE]
