[QUOTE="Phoenix55, post: 1743990, member: 242273"] Because you are testing after your meal you know better than your HCP what you can no longer tolerate, and unfortunately that is porridge with a strong probability that kiwi fruit is not helping. When I started out I tested each meal twice, there are so many variables, but with double figures after porridge it probably means that you will be joining a large group of us who can no longer tolerate grains in 'normal' portions. That means grain flour in all its various guises is out unless it is a special treat, and tropical fruit are also out. Do not despair though it means you can eat cream, cheese, eggs, bacon in full fat forms, and I find a home made yoghurt with a few berries makes a breakfast that keeps me going through the morning, others on here swear by 'bullet proof' coffee, made with cream or butter. Keep testing and you will find what works for you, we are all different. If you have time try keeping a food diary, it shows really clearly your progress and what you can and can no longer eat. One size does not fit all. Whether you need to lose weight or not it can help to keep a note of your body measurements on a weekly basis so that you are monitoring that as well. What is most important is your attitude. View it as an opportunity to find out more about your body so that you are more aware of what is going on. Then enjoy the adventure. :) [/QUOTE]
