[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1667605, member: 355878"] You caught me at a very low point - for weeks I have been coughing so violently that I feel my head might explode as well as my bladder. You wrote that you are eating low carb and then you list bread and bananas, rice crispies, more bread, sweets porridge more bread grapes spaghetti - all high carb foods and which type two diabetics need to avoid if they are to get normal BG levels. You also seem to be having numerous meals - I eat twice a day early and late and nothing in between to let my body have a rest. I can tell you how I get normal readings, but if you follow the advice of your dietician I can't see that happening any time soon. I am really rather curious - just how many gm of carb are you eating a day? My usual amount is 40 to 50, with 60 as an absolute maximum. Typically I have after dinner BG levels under 6mmol/l. I avoid most foods with over 10 percent carbs, and eat very sparingly of a few up to 20 percent. [/QUOTE]
