Every thing is all new to me - I was diagnosed less than two weeks ago and my levels were quite high. I started having lots of veg and a bit of protein and I must admit my levels have been going down around 6 to 7.
So that is really good and no problem!
Today I decided to have just a bit of rice with loads of veg and a small piece of fish. I was shoked my BG levels went to 10.7. This has really put me off.
So you have learnt that rice is not good for you - another good thing!
The thing is I cant go on having vegies all the time without a bit of carbs.
Then you ARE eating carbs since veggies have carbs in them!
Also I have been having cravings cashew nuts. Have been having a bit.
That is ok so long as you don't go too mad - check your Carb Counter book which will also tell you what else is in them!
I do not know what to have as snacks (please advise)Can some one help me I know this condition can be a challenge and I do not want this to affect my life.
Look in the Carb Counter book and choose what you would like - and yes it will affect your life! How could it not?
I miss having cereals in the morning and I am even afraid to try incase it affects my BG levels.
Cereal will affect your BG levels as it contains carbs! Look in your Carb Counter book!
What am I doing wrong. I need to know what to have as snacks , I am tied of celery sticks ets.
:cry:
