[QUOTE="Raspin, post: 461092, member: 92346"] Hi, Thanks samjb, that almond milk looks interesting and again better than the normal variety. douglas99, forgive my ignorance, but why as a newly diagnosed type 2 should i not be trying to lower my BS. I would have thought I should get on it asap. I got a fasting BS of 18.1 about 10 days ago and this morning it was 8.4 so I was chuffed to see it had come down, and has done steadily. I've only been taking 500g of metformin with an evening meal in that period, and i'm dieting too, but i'm supposed to start taking a second tablet (1000g total) from this weekend but i'm wondering whether i should as it seems to be coming down anyway. As i mentioned, when I was told to do that my fasting BS was 18.1 and I don't think the DB nurse really believed I was going to stick to my diet. I haven't deviated at all. I'm wondering if i should just continue as I am. I've ordered myself a glucose tester which will arrive today so perhaps i'll leave it until i've been able to test pre meal, and 2 hours after to see what tings are more accurately and then decide if I up the dose to 1000. I'd really prefer to try to manage it on my own but don;t wanna be foolish. Craig81, that's very interesting. It doesn't tell us whether we should or shouldn't be eating the high insulin response food, or whether doing so makes us more or less insulin resistant/sensitive but i think you are right, it would certainly explain why a study, such as the Newcastle study, would want to eliminate those variables from the diet of their test group so as to make their findings more credible and easier to interpret. That probably also explains why they didn't include fish as it states that is a high insulin response food too. I think i'm going to replace my skimmed milk with the lactofree as suggested, not introduce fish, complete the 8 weeks and see what happens. Thanks for the info, Raspin [/QUOTE]
