[QUOTE="sugarless sue, post: 6410, member: 1210"] Welcome to the forum ,Exchoc, do you have a test meter? The thing that jumped out at me from your post is the fact that you eat a lot of pasta and rice.I advise you to test before you eat a meal of pasta or rice then test 2 hours later to see what your sugars are like.Some people's sugars go sky high with pasta or rice or potatoes,the starchy foods.Again don't give up on your fruit but test before and 2 hours after to see what effect adding blueberries etc to your porridge has.It's all a matter of trail and error until you come to understand what works for you.It's interesting experimenting and once you have a sort of short list of dishes you know are good for your sugars then you can start adding things to make it more interesting.Just because you're a diabetic does not mean you have to give up everything,even chocolate!!The 70% chocolate does not have so much sugar in it as the others so the occasional nibble will be OK.Try eating it as part of a meal so that it gets broken down more slowly.
