[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1408910, member: 94045"] You said you have started a new diet, low fat, low sugar, low salt. Sadly, this doesn't work too well for diabetics. It the carbohydrate in food that causes the problems, not the fats, and nor indeed salt. Bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, breakfast cereals, anything made with flour. We also have to be very careful with fruit and milk, and of course sugar.. This will help you. Read the page then click the links to "What to eat" and "what not to eat". There are also loads of lovely recipes on there. [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/60-seconds[/URL] You don't need to cut all carbs out, just the ones that affect you, and reduce the portion sizes of the others, stay clear of processed food, ready meals and take-a-ways. A meter will tell you better than I can. Throw away any low fat products you have and eat the real thing.
