Thank goodness I did, I'm really grateful to the people on this forum for pointing me to the right path.First off I scoured the forum, there's quite a lot of information I didn't understand, and there still is for that matter. On the forum's advice I bought a glucometer to check levels of glucose in my blood. At first the numbers were quite high, but they have gradually come down to normal levels. Basically you test your BG before you are about to eat, then between one and two hours after your meal. If your post-meal reading is 2mmol higher than your pre-meal reading then whatever you've eaten has caused a spike in your blood and is best avoided. By making sure I'm within the correct range all the time is important to me.

Anything you don't understand please ask, I'm certain someone will be able to help.</blockquote>
