[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2138984, member: 511345"] Hello and welcome You are no longer doing it all by yourself- we are here with you. Are you on any medications. If you are on anything other than metformin the advice will be a bit different than if you are on either nothing or just metformin. Assuming you are on no medications my advice is to measure your levels just before a meal and 2 hours after. If your levels have risen more than 2 (not sure of the amount with your units) then the meal you have just eaten had more carbs then your body can tolerate. That lets you know that you need to reduce the carb level. If you continue to keep track of what you are eating and the effect on your levels that will give you some guidance on what you can eat. I keep under 20 grams of carbs a day but you may want to try starting g to keep under say 100 grams of carbs and see what your levels are like. Why don't you start by providing us with information about what you are eating and people can give some advice. Just ask whatever questions you like- there are some amazing people with a lot of experience on this site. Welcome [/QUOTE]
