[QUOTE="pastbe4us, post: 2049956, member: 506556"] Good Morning and hello from Long Island, New York. My name is Rick and I am a Type 2 diabetic. I became a diabetic through both bad luck, an accident, and my own ignorance. Like most bad fortune, I have been running down the occasions in my head when I could have avoided diabetes, and did not. This is largely a waste of time. Now, like so many of you I am learning to live and fight with diabetes. I've been searching the internet, and have learned that the British sites are generally better than the American sites, most of which just suck up your personal information, and then try to sell you something. Two days ago I began keeping a glucose level log. This morning my level was 117, before I ate 20 grams of Cheerios with Almond Milk, which was followed by 500mg's of Metformin and a tall glass of Psyllium and Apple Cider Vinegar. One half hour after my first test, my glucose level was 153. I know over 140 is bad. I realize I should avoid Cheerios, a sugar free oat cereal. I have read I may eat up to 50 grams of carbohydrates, a day, and limited the cereal to 20g's. I just want to add that I am new at this. I did not come here to argue or debate with anyone. I would appreciate helpful comments, from people with experience who would like to be helpful. Thank You [/QUOTE]
