[QUOTE="borofergie, post: 262901, member: 33342"] I sympathise completely, it's something that we all have to go through. Well done. Controlling your carb intake is the key to controlling your diabetes. You'll have to find out for yourself exactly how much carbohydrate you can tolerate (by eating and testing), but it sounds like you've made a great start. Low-carbing isn't all about salad and vegetables (although actually I've learned to enjoy both much more than I did before), it's a bit of a journey in the first few months trying to find what you can and can't eat. Well firstly you don't get diabetes because you are obese, and it doesn't sound like you are obese anyway. Some of us got obese because we were glucose intolerant, which eventually led to us getting diabetes. Most of us (but not all) think that the NHS dietry advice is completely wrong. You might eventually find out that you can tolerate small amounts of starchy carbs but you certainly don't need to include them in every meal. In fact many of us do very well without ever eating them at all. The key is eating and testing, reduce or cut out anything that obviously spiking your blood. It usually takes a few weeks before your BG settles down completely. You certainly shouldn't have got a spike off tuna and eggs. Exercise, stress and illness can all play a role, but sometimes your BG just does its own thing. Give my love to the seven height-restricted-individuals! [/QUOTE]
