[QUOTE="Lakeslover, post: 2678513, member: 541354"] I’m another that found the NHS healthy eating plan just led to higher and higher blood sugar levels. Once I switched to low carb I could see the difference in levels. of course you don’t need to believe random strangers on the Internet suggesting different diets. Indeed doctors themselves may differ in their views. There are many doctors now advocating low carb diets. the best information is the information you get from your body. The best thing you can do right now is get a blood sugar meter. Test before you eat and 2 hours afterwards. That will show you how much your meal has caused your blood sugar to rise. Aim for no more than a two point rise after 2 hours. You will soon see what meals cause you problems. if you decide to try low carb there are low carb pastas out there. I like an edame and mung bean one from Holland and Barrett. There are companies selling low carb bread (my favourite is srsly seeded bread and rolls), granola (Keto Hana). These two are both on line. Celeriac makes good chips, roasties and dauphinois. Even my fussy husband enjoys that. I enjoy my diet which consists mainly of fish, meat, eggs, above ground veg, Greek yoghurt, berries, butter, cream and cheese. [/QUOTE]
