[QUOTE="Jam&Scones, post: 2217056, member: 514191"] This must be a confusing time for you - I am glad you are getting the Type 1 tests, its good to know where you stand. However, as others have said, whatever type it turns out to be, there is a way to treat it. As for food - grains (including flour, i.e. bread etc), root vegetables (like potatoes, etc), rice, legumes (e.g. lentils) are all high in carbohydrates, so these should be restricted. Fiber can still be had from eating green leafy veg like broccoli, kale, asparagus, etc (which are all great being low in carbs). Delicious things are still on the menu though! Cheese, eggs, bacon, fish, broccoli (I love it with a good prawn stir fry, really soaks up the sauce better than rice!). These are the [URL='https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes_care/blood-sugar-level-ranges.html']ideal ranges[/URL] for blood sugar, but you won't hit this immediately. It took me a good few months to get there! Good luck, it takes time to get the hang of it, but you will! [/QUOTE]
