[QUOTE="sueh500, post: 2662723, member: 363721"] Hope you are feeling more positive now and it's good that you have cut out the cranberries and banana chips - dried fruit is a very concentrated source of carbs. One thing that no-one has mentioned so far is fibre - increasing your fibre will help with your management - you should be aiming for about 30g a day. If you are using one of the apps (MyFitnessPal etc), then that should give you an idea of how much you are consuming each day. If you aren't having enough, then increase gradually so as not to upset your stomach. Raspberries are great as a lower carb fruit and good source of fibre. Try and include seeds and nuts. Cashew nuts may have some benefit in reducing glucose. We use the HiLo bread from Sainsburys as a low carb bread (5g per slice), which is also high in fibre. We bought Liv Life from Waitrose too until recently (3.4g a slice) - currently out of stock. The fibre counteracts some of the glucose and is healthy for you in lots of ways, so win win! Don't forget that exercise will help you too. [/QUOTE]
