[QUOTE="Princesbold, post: 218778, member: 27306"] I am not using any particular diet, just reducing carbohydrates, it seems that the fewer carbs you consume the lower your insulin doses will be, i also count calories and try to stay below the recomendations for six out of seven days of the week. I eat huge numbers of eggs; fried, boiled, scrambled, poached, omelettes etc etc any amount of chicken or fish. When i was first diagnosed type two i just cut down on sugar, looked at the nutritional breakdown of food and just looked at the sugar content, BIG MISTAKE, I firmly believe my diabetes is entirely down to the amounts of carbohydrates I have consumed, often in an effort to avoid fats. My diet now is only about carb avoidance no longer concerned about fat, have gone back to butter on my single slice of bread each week, or my solitary jacket potatoe. Weigh all your food and understand the nutritional information on food packaging, your insulin doses can be tailored to each and every meal in relation to the carbohydrate level you consume. Within a short space of time you begin to learn the levels of carbs present in foods, fruit and veg carb levels are quite interesting, leaves you making some interesting choices when you know all of the carbohydrate values. Learning about the GI can also be useful to help you understand your Blood sugar level readings when sometimes they can confuse you. [/QUOTE]
