[QUOTE="Syd, post: 501702, member: 92896"] Hello Shelly, We are all different and what works for some will not necessarily work for others. Many members of this forum seem to favour the low carb/high fat diet, for me after diagnosis I adopted the balanced diet recommended by the Doc. I was (still am) very overweight, and this seemed to be the first problem to tackle. I cut out all the junk 'food' I was eating, and started eating three regular meals a day with reduced portion sizes. I always had a 50% or more carb content of every meal, but chose the better complex carbs eg whole grain rather than white bread. The weight began to fall off, and the BG fell in direct proportion. But I had problems with my post breakfast level particularly after eating breakfast cereal with low fat milk. I then started taking exercise after breakfast. The exercise was only a brisk walk for 40 minutes or so but the effect on the BG level was instant. I could have my 35 grams of carb breakfast, go for a walk, and my BG level two hours later would be pretty much where it was before breakfast (in the low 5.0's). So I would see if you can still have that slice of bread or toast and can walk it off. I also found that my daily post breakfast walk seemed to assist my glucose processing throughout the day, with the two hour reading getting back to the pre-meal reading.
