[QUOTE="Ricky, post: 2088416, member: 27137"] Hi - I have come in late to this and sorry I haven't got time to read through 4 pages. I notice you were talking about fruit and just want to say that the best advice I was ever given was to eat fruit WITH your meal and not between meals. That way it doesn't spike your blood sugar. I found out what I could eat using a meter when I was first diagnosed and go figure but I can't eat bread (except a slice of Sainsburys HiLo or Waitrose LivLife which are both low carb/high protein breads), I can't eat potatoes, rice etc BUT I can eat some Udon noodles!! We are all different. I hope you have tried the lentil/black bean/edamame pasta you can get in many supermarkets like Morrisons. Oh yes do look at the ingredients of all lowsugar/no sugar products which have sweeteners. Xylitol and stevia are natural. Malitol which may be spelt in different ways spikes my blood sugar and many others on here so I won't eat any protein bars with it in. I can get away with Quest bars (Holland and Barrett and Amazon) . They are expensive but good if you need a quick sweet tasting hit. I keep one in the car and a bite will satisfy!! Hope I have not repeated these tips from posts above that I haven't read. [/QUOTE]
