[QUOTE="Lakeslover, post: 2628987, member: 541354"] In my experience of 12 years of diabetes I have only had one diabetic professional who was up to date with the most recent research on diet. Most were still pushing the NHS eatwell plate with complex carbs. Like many people here all following that advice did was raise my blood sugar more and more, and make me put on weight. All I can say is once I found this site, started ignoring those NHS “diabetes” diet sheets and adjusted my diet to low carb that was when I managed to get blood sugar under control. it’s great that you have a meter. So now you don’t have to believe what I or any other stranger here tells you. You can use the meter to test before you eat and two hours after, and see what your blood sugar does. Ideally you are aiming for less than a two point rise. [/QUOTE]
