[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1244383, member: 94045"] Hi, Yes, eat to your meter. It is your best friend. I have no carbs at all for breakfast because that is when my insulin resistance is at its worst. I have a few at lunch, then the rest for evening meal, no snacks other than a cup of tea when I fancy one. I have around 30g a day, no bread other than half a Lidl high protein roll most days, no cereals, rice or pasta. I do eat potatoes in small quantities because my meter says I can, and I avoid things made with flour as much as possible (such as gravy, shop bought soups and most sauces etc.) I imagine you have been told to follow the NHS Eatwell Plate, which says carbs with every meal. That is all very well for non-diabetics, but useless for us I'm afraid. All carbs convert to glucose once inside the system, so much better to reduce them as much as possible. Fill up on leafy green veggies, tomatoes, mushrooms, eggs, salads, avocados, meat and fish, especially oily fish like salmon. Have a good read round the forums for tips and advice, and ask questions. The Libre sensor is an excellent tool for showing where your levels are at times when you aren't testing. I use them as and when I feel the need and can afford them. [/QUOTE]
