[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1601359, member: 429870"] Believe me, I do sympathise with your plight, as before my A1c I was more or less living on fruit, with milk and nuts. I thought I knew a lot about diet, but the last few weeks I have been disconsolately discovering the carb content of more and more foods that I had happily imagined to be "free". Did you know, there is 1 gramme of carb in an egg??? (My latest discovery.) Before that, I discovered the surprisingly high carb content of my beloved leeks and onions. Even garllic has about 1 gramme of carb per clove, but luckily one doesn't need very many of them. Really, I think only fish and meat, fats and oils are completely carb free. But don't panic, you may be able to get away with a moderate reduction of carbs. Given that a small apple has about 15 carbs, as does HALF a banana, you can see that eating less fruit very quickly achieves a big reduction. In addition, as has already been said, reducing the fruit sugar fructose will help your struggling liver. The fact that you start off fit, slim and active will stand you in very good stead. Walking for 10 minutes after meals, especially the evening one, often seems to help lower blood glucose levels. There is a section about exercise lower down where we discussed this more than once. Dr Bernstein is good on exercise against diabetes (and against ageing) and has made lots of short videos: [URL]http://www.diabetes-book.com/video-diabetes-exercise/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
