[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1244547, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome! That 'eat slow release carbs' nonsense is the downfall of many a T2. They do what they are told, without a clue about the damage it does them on a meal by meal basis. If I were you I would invest in a comprehensive self testing regime, whether that is prick testing or the Libre (I Libre and LOVE it). you need to test before, and at 2 hours (some people also test at 1hr, and some keep testing hourly til they return to starting point), but it all depends on how much you want to spend, and how much time you want to invest. Keep a food diary. You will be shocked and awed at what the food diary and the blood testing tells you - and it will be very different from what the NHS does. :) At that point you will be able to design your own personalised diet that avoids the things that send you high and gives you great control of your glood glucose. No more roller coaster. No more escalating HbA1c and ever increasing meds. :) [/QUOTE]
