[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 2120393, member: 93179"] Although I lost a fair bit of weight when I was first diagnosed. and it's remained pretty stable for the last five years, I'm still overweight, but as far as I'm concerned this has very little (AKA s*d all) to do with my glucose levels - if I eat too many carbs I'll generally see a rise in glucose, but if I keep them down to what i know is an acceptable level, then my glucose levels follow suit and stay where I want them as well. And since I never particularly wanted to eat a high carb diet in the first place, I've no wish to go back to stuffing my face with them again. But if you're wanting to eat extra carbs, just check with your meter to see what effect they might have on [I]your[/I] glucose levels. Occasional [B]small[/B] dietary diversions are probably OK , but long term may well be a different matter. Like [USER=94045]@Bluetit1802[/USER], if I fancy a roast dinner I'll have one and just avoid the starchy stuff... Robbity [/QUOTE]
