[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1259943, member: 295621"] Hello :) There is no real hard and fast answer to this as what may agree with your body and BG management may differ greatly from the next person. However, most will agree on the following guidelines: -Limit refined carbs, if eating them at all -Avoid foodstuffs which contain lots of simple sugars (fizzy drinks, fruit juice, sweets, etc) -Try to eat carbohydrates with a low GI -Choose brown/wholemeal over white where possible -Avoid ALL "diabetic" labeled produce (it's a marketing gimmick in most cases) A sensible diet combined with exercise will really help you on your way to good BG control. If you haven't already, it's advisable to purchase a BG meter to test glucose levels before and after meals. This can give you an indication as to how your body reacts to different foods and help you understand which ones have the least impact and which ones are best to avoid. If she hasn't already, [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] can provide you with some introductory advise that you will find of benefit. Good luck:) Grant [/QUOTE]
