[QUOTE="daddys1, post: 787962, member: 134619"] Hi Colin & Welcome, seems that [USER=132592]@Clivethedrive[/USER] has beat me to it with regards tagging daisy for you. It is very confusing when you start and the worry makes it even more daunting. Firstly, don't panic you do have time and eventually you will get you head around it all. Unfortunately, if you are seeing a dietitian they will probably suggest the EAT WELL PLATE which includes 30% carbohydrates (things like potatoes Bread Rice Pasta Pastry and Root Veg). When I was diagnosed Pre Diabetic I have a super diet similar to the Eat Well Plate although I had reduced my Potatoes & Bread increase my fruit had cerial for breakfast, stayed away from fat and ended up Borderline Diabetic. Now I have followed the Low Carb High Fat diet I have moved out of the diabetic range, please see my signature. Lost weight too. To make it simple to start, you need to cut out potatoes Bread Rice Pasta Pastry and Root Veg and cereals or very small portions. You also have to be careful with fruit I can only manage 1/2 an apple. Cannot eat banana as most cannot. Fruit juice is out, I used to have lots. I'll just say what I have on a typical day. Breakfast 2 Eggs & 2 bacon 2 Mushrooms or scrambled eggs on one slice of Hovis Seed sensations Bread lowest at 13carbs per slice (can only manage 1 slice with butter. or 1 slice cheese on toast. or Full Fat Yogurt with sm amount Berries sprinkled Flaxseed & sprinkled Granola. Lunch, Sardines on 1 slice of toast either hot or cold, with 5/6 cherry tomatoes plus 8/10 olives or Mackerel Fillet with the same Dinner Pork Chop with fat or Lamb or 85% meat sausages Lrg portion of Cauliflower, Swede, French beans Or Fresh Salmon Cooked with maybe same + mayo Or any fish We all on here test our meter, that is we test fasting when getting up. or at the same time as just starting breakfast. For all meals we test just before eating, then in the early days test at 1hr after & then 2hr, you are looking from what you ate not to move more than 2mmol/L upwards at 2hrs you should be down. One you have done this for certain foods and find what puts your sugars up you can stop testing those particular meals, it's a pain at first but it does get easier. You will find your weight should drop on a LCHF diet, you need to at least if you can walk 30 mins a day that will help also. Good Book Look for 'Carbs & Cals' on ebay it's just pictures and portion sizes it's very easy tells you what carbs and cals There is also Trudi Deakins Book from Xpert Health [URL]http://www.xperthealth.org.uk/shop/details/p/handbook-lowcarb-highfat-lifestyle[/URL] Hope this help, I know it all seems a lot to take in but you will. Please stay around you will get a lot of support on here and people are around to answer all your questions. Remember it's the carbs that turn to sugar. Neil [/QUOTE]
