Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fides" data-source="post: 287623" data-attributes="member: 44357">Firstly I am type 2 diabetic.1. 13 is high but not really bad if you have just eaten.Ideally the range you should be looking for is somewhere between 5.4 and 6.3 (some ppl say 6.6), that is before eating and an hour or two after eating, It can be useful to do readings directly after eating but then only to gauge what the effect of the food does to you.I presently follow Cambridge diet 450 calories with a Ceasar salad in the evening with chicken or tuna this brings my calories up to 650-700 calories. I find this works for me because I can spread the 4 shakes out during the day.Note - I would say that in starting one of these low calorie diets you have to gradually ease into it, some of the food packs are too sweet for me or too much instant sugar/substitute that causes my blood sugar to rocket, so for me I take banana/vanilla/mango flavour as these are less sweet.2. I wasn't very positive about my various dietician appointments in the past, as I have read up pretty extensively about diabetes, tried different foods and I know what works for me. In my case I was referred to a dietician round the same time when I was having an issue with the heating system at work which was pushing my blood sugars sky high.Dietician will give you a list of high and low glycaemic foods and tell you to balance what you eat so that it keeps you on long burn foods throughout the day. They usually recommend things like beans, rice, potatoes, pasta etc. For myself that just leaves me exhausted.</blockquote>
