[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2286330, member: 511345"] Hello and welcome, You've been given good advice above. So most if this will be repeating. First you need to be testing your levels before and 2 hours after a meal. This is the information that will let you know how that meal effected your blood sugars. You are aiming for a rise of less than 2. If you are on medication to lower your blood sugars-you need to test even more strictly if you intend to try to tackle this using diet. My advice is to start lowering your carb intake- but not too quickly. I found it surprising when I was diagnosed exactly how many carbs I was consuming in a day. So start lowering your carbs but test regularly. You may find as others have found before you that you may be able to reduce the medication you need. Read around on this site- there is a heap of useful information. Keep records of your levels as that will help when you talk to your doctor about your medication levels- if you can keep your blood sugar levels down you can suggest a reduction in your medication. Good luck and welcome. [/QUOTE]
