[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2550287, member: 493719"] Hi [USER=560736]@signal1979[/USER] . A great start from you . And an all too familiar tale of diagnosis apathy from docs. Just to say, for anyone unsure whether to test or not. We all use the Speedo in our car so we stay within bounds (aka speed limits) Same for testing. Can't make changes if you don't know what's wrong , right . Consider 3 months time, you get a worse HBA1c...mmhh what did you eat that caused it ...? Nope, not a scoobies. However when testing, ( eating chips for instance ) test 2 hours later, if you spike ..money says it's the chips . So you cut them out or cut down until you don't spike, simples So you make changes today / tomorrow..not sit there clueless in 3 months time. As newbies trust me, we are all here for you . We shared that initial confusion & worry of what the heck can we eat now .:wideyed: :arghh: Google Diet Doctor Visual Guides . Gave great insight early on as to what to eat & what avoid . I still tested, but that guide narrowed down the more obvious monsters in the kitchen, And made my run in to a better HBA1c much easier. (Plus all the good advice I got on here ) Want a shortcut ? Cook. Buy meat that looks like meat. Veg that looks like veg Add herbs & spices as you prefer. Then EAT. Controls the carbs. Controls the sugars. Not always practical I know. But it's what I do, whenever I can. Good luck on your journeys. Don't forget to ask for help. And there are NO stupid questions. Trust me, I tested THAT theory extensively when I started ... :cool: :hilarious: [/QUOTE]
