[QUOTE="snow-white, post: 262682, member: 43275"] Hi Everyone, I'm totally confused by all the conflicting advice that's been given to me. I was diagnosed with type 2 about 4 weeks ago. A friend of mine was diagnosed last year and he has re-searched through the internet and given me a lot of information. So when I was diagnosed, I immediately started low carbing (which I find really difficult as I'm not a fan of salad or vegetables) Last week I had my first visit at the Diabetic nurse at the local health centre. Well, I came out of there feeling worse that I did when first diagnosed! Firstly, she told me that the reason I have diabetes is because I'm obese (I'm about 1 stone overweight) - so that did little for my confidence. Secondly, she discarded my "diary" that I had kept showing what I'd been eating and what my bg results were. What a let down! I wasn't looking for a pat on the back, but a little re-assurance that I'm heading in the right direction. When I got home, I read the leaflets she'd given me which says you should eat "starchy carbs" with every meal. This is confusing. But I believe the low carbing has helped. The first week of doing my bg testing the daily average was about 9-10. Now my daily average is about 7-8, so I think I'm doing something right. Although, is it normal to have days where your bg is a lot higher than normal even although you haven't eaten any carbs? Today by reading after lunch (scrambled eggs and tuna) was up at 9.7 which is high compared to the past week or so. Any advice gratefully received :problem: Thanks Snow-white [/QUOTE]
