[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2107267, member: 21149"] Hi. You say you have online access to your test results which is good. You need to have your blood tests done 1 to 2 weeks before your review so you don't waste time at the review being told the results but can go straight in to discuss the implications. I would encourage you to think carbs and not calories. Calories are a marketing tool used by slimming clubs etc and not based on good science when it comes to what you eat. Fats have twice the calories of carbs and hence controlling calories can encourage reducing fats rather than carbs which is the opposite of what we with diabetes need. Fats don't result in any significant BS rise but carbs do so do focus on the latter although I accept holding calories down will help if not optimal. [/QUOTE]
