It's not that the dieticians advice is bad, it's just finding the balance and quantity that works for you. Think of this as an experiment. I'm 33 weeks and have just been put on insulin at night as my fasting bloods were too high but I've mastered meal times. Carbs are essential so don't cut them out completely, adjust your quantity, choose sweet potato instead of white, grain bread instead of white, small portions of rice and pasta etc a portion size is equivalent to your fist size. Bulk other foods out like leafy greens, kale, meat, salad etc. Chocolate is slow release so you might find that it affects your sugars later in the day. It's hard work trying to get the right balance and some days you'll be scratching your head wondering what you done wrong cos you ate the same food at the same quantity and your sugars are off target but one offs aren't too much to worry about. Can't wait til I can indulge in some sweets and chocolate cake!!!!</blockquote>
