[QUOTE="jeanser, post: 1501733, member: 407778"] Yeah I like avocado - often have a half at lunchtime I understand a lot of peeps on this site use meters and test regularly, however I don't intend to go there right now because I would become obsessive about it and I don't want that. I kind of trust my body to tell me what's going on - I was eating those packaged microporridge thingeys around 10 each morning as a bridge between an early breakfast and lunch, and found that instead of filling me up they made me hungry about 30-40 minutes later, which I now interpret to be a sugar crash. As my learning continues I've stopped eating those! But good old Asda smart price porridge oats, cooked for 5 minutes, seem to work for me. I'm hoping that my next 6 monthly blood test will show some overall improvement (August). If not I'll have to think again, but as mentioned above, this diet after just a few weeks already seems to have had a positive effect so I'm keen to keep going. I'm still on Metformin also so I guess if I came off that it might be sensible to start testing [/QUOTE]
