[QUOTE="Dexterdobe, post: 1976901, member: 454478"] Do you have a BG test meter and if so are you using it Pinky? I test myself regularly to see which foods raise my BG. I test just before I have a meal and then again 2 hours after the first bite. I have found that potatoes, rice, pasta and bread are an absolute no,no, whereas other veg, plums and blackberries and the usual meat, fish cheese nuts and seeds are fine. I've also found that strenuous exercise pushes my BG way down, so if I am a bit naughty with what I eat, 15 minutes on my exercise bike keep my BG from spiking. Once you know what to eat and what to avoid, then you can test less often. BTW, don't worry if your BG is a bit high first thing in the morning. That's just your liver putting some glucose in your blood to get you ready for the day. My BG is usually around 6 in the morning and then falls to around 5 by lunchtime. My HBa1C was 42 at the last test and 40 six month earlier. It was 53 at diagnosis 15 months ago. Good luck and keep asking questions. [/QUOTE]
