[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1587369, member: 94045"] I'm also in Lancashire. :) Have you stopped having fruit for breakfast? Avocado is fine and can be eaten at any time as it is very low in carbs/sugar. Other fruit isn't fine on the whole and we need to take care with it. It depends how you eat it, and which type you eat, and how much you eat. There is an awful lot of sugar in fruit, and when the fruit is squashed, like in juice or smoothies, it makes matters worse. The best fruits are raspberries and strawberries, or maybe a small apple or pear. The ones to be very careful of are tropical varieties such as bananas and grapes, plus dried fruits. It isn't wise to eat it as a stand alone snack. It needs to be eaten as part of a meal, and preferably with something fatty such as cream or full fat plain yogurts. Mmmmmm strawberries and cream. :) Have you got a blood glucose meter? If not, you will be helping yourself enormously if you bought one. With a meter you can test before eating and 2 hours after first bite to see at a glance what that food has done to your levels .... this way you will discover which foods are your personal danger foods. Keeping a food diary and recording your levels alongside is a good way to go about learning. We find our meters are essential tools. [/QUOTE]
