[QUOTE="Chipmunk71, post: 2443054, member: 548959"] I would avoid any carbonated drinks as they tend to be loaded with sugar, despite all the ads of it being Zero Sugar etc... I would stick to more water and would even avoid fruit juices.... one thing I realise is that fruits have sugar as well in the form of Fructose...and juicing it is just concentrating all the sugar in one fix... I still enjoy a glass of wine in the evening and I found that this do not mess with my sugar levels and helps in digesting and also I totally enjoy it... Had an Abbot FreeStyle Libre Sensor on me once and I tested on everything I ate. Was a good learning curve for me on what foods will cause a spike in sugar... Yeah, so I would probably invest in a sensor for 14 days and gauge or test out how we react to the foods we like. Its a lot of adjusting to diets and getting used to new things and learning to manage our cravings with adequate exercise as well... manageable stuff like starting with walking and when we see positive results, we will be excited to move on and do other stuff like maybe cycling and also expand on circle of acquaintances in cycling groups or walking groups or even some Pilates groups. Idea is to start small... and work at the right motivational triggers for us. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
