[QUOTE="charon, post: 425250, member: 70242"] [b]Re: i am on low carb diet but blood glucose not coming down[/b] Try cutting out carbs as much as possible for a week or so. Should bring down bg and start weight loss. I go for: Bacon/mackerel and eggs Salad - lettuce, cucumber, spring onions, olives, feta cheese, boiled egg. Meat/fish greens - cabbage, sprouts, onion, mushrooms, leeks. Also exercise. You might worry about cholesterol on this but I found it came down a lot. You should find that hardly increases the bg after a meal and should bring down the bg and you can then start testing what you can eat. I would say definitely no bread, potatoes, fruit while getting things under control. I can now cope with an occasionsl small potato or single slice of bread. One apple is usually ok but any more is bad. Half a banana maybe. Blueberries and raspberries are fine - I have with double cream. Whole meal bread isn't a lot different from white - stay away until you have things under control. I was told by my nurse to stay with whole meal but two sandwiches sent me to 15.1.
