[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 3444, member: 1338"] Hi Saffy, Sorry I only had time for a quick response earlier. Your diabetic nurse seems to be following the general guidelines that everyone should eat a high carbohydrate and low protein/fat diet. As you will see in many of the posts on this forum, high carbohydrate foods (like bread) are the worst thing a diabetic, particularly a Type 2, can possibly eat because they will send your blood sugars sky high. The same applies to other high carb foods like pasta, rice and potatoes. That doesn't mean you mustn't eat them, just make sure you have small quantities. Fruit is ok - it contains vitamins and fibre but also sugar - so again stick to small quantities. Have a look in the "Diabetes Food Forum section under the topic "DIABETICS WORST EMENMY-CARBOHYDRATES". Personally I also found this website very useful in helping make my own mind up about what foods would do me good and what ones wouldn't [url=http://www.second-opinions.co.uk/diabetes_index.html]http://www.second-opinions.co.uk/diabetes_index.html[/url] BTW, Actos has two notorious side effects, fluid retention and very rapid weight gain (in my case 5 stone in 6 months despite constant dieting). If you notice either of these then report back to your GP straight away. [/QUOTE]
