I use my BS monitor to decide what foods I can and should not eat and, through testing, have found that I can eat bread, potatoes albeit in smaller portions than before, some fruit and reheated pasta without too much affect on my BS. The thing to remember with T2 diabetics is that the ‘healthy’ diet recommended by most dieticians is unhealthy for us because of the number of carbs it contains so meat, eggs, cheese, butter, full fat yoghurt, not much fruit etc are actually better for us - it seems strange at first as it seems contrary to what we’ve always been led to believe is unhealthy however, as many on here can testify, it works!</p></blockquote><p></p>
