[QUOTE="tubolard, post: 48983, member: 9741"] Hi Stu, and welcome to the forum. You will have to look at your carbohydrate intake and find out how what you eat impacts your blood glucose levels, changing the quantity and quality of carbs you eat will have a positive impact on your blood glucose. Unfortunately there isn't a one-size fits all diet for diabetes, and each of us has to find out how foods affect us. Have a look in the food forum, there's a good recipes thread. The British Diatetic Association (BDA) have a good leaflet called [url=http://www.bda.uk.com/foodfacts/071114Diabetes.pdf]Diabetes - Your Food Choices[/url], also have a look at their [url=http://www.bda.uk.com/foodfacts/081030Carbs.pdf]carbohydrates[/url] fact sheet. The BDA encourage a [url=http://www.bda.uk.com/Downloads/April2004GIDiet.pdf]low GI[/url] approach in helping BG management, other members of this forum have found that significantly reducing carb intake has helped improved management of BG, there's a low carb forum where these ideas are discussed in more detail. The important thing is to ensure that your nutritional requirements are also met, whichever route you take. Apart from changing your diet, you must be able to recognise how different foods affect you, get hold of a BG meter and test, if your GP will prescribe you test strips then all the better. Hope this provides a good starting point for you, please don't hesitate to come back and ask, we're all more than willing to help out. Regards, Tubs. [/QUOTE]
