[QUOTE="masonap, post: 2226507, member: 330514"] So I read your reply about what you eat... NOOOOOO! Toast - out Low sugar cranberry juice - not sure, how many carbs Apple - probably not so good Oranges - for me they are very bad Banana - depends on ripeness, closer to green is better Protein bars - most are far too high in carbs, I only eat one when I’m exercising. Smoothies - Noooooo! Wraps - probably has too many carbs in them (I couldn’t eat them). You need to reduce your carbs, drastically. I’m type 2 on insulin and I try to eat low carb as much as possible, look to intake more fat and protein. Look at product labels and specifically carbs (this includes sugar) to identify good or better products. Fir a diabetic there is no ‘good’ source of sugar, natural sugar as in fruit and honey is still sugar and therefore bad for us. For toast I use Hovis protein bread (sold in Asda stores) as it has half the carbs of regular bread (but only a couple of slices, and not every day). Smoothies and fruit juice are out, far too many carbs and liquid carbs very quickly turn into glucose in your blood. I hope my comments are helpful. I wish you all the best, and a long and healthy retirement. [/QUOTE]
