Hi Wildflower, welcome, hope you had a good night's sleep.

What were your diagnosis blood sugar levels? Do you have a test meter?

Evidence is inconclusive for an ideal amount of total fat intake for people with diabetes;
therefore, goals should be individualized; fat quality appears to be far more important than quantity.

In people with type 2 diabetes, a Mediterranean-style, MUFA-rich eating pattern may benefit
glycemic control and CVD risk factors and can therefore be recommended as an effective alternative to a lower-fat, higher-carbohydrate eating pattern.

Thank you sanguine, I slept well once I got to bed thanks. My last reading was 6.5, no I don't have a test meter.

Most of us consider a meter to be essential to assess how we react to different foods. Many go for the SD Codefree because the strips are relatively cheap at around £7 per 50.
