[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1476079, member: 94045"] Hi and welcome, Have a look at this page and follow some of the links. There are lists of foods you can eat and lists of foods you need to avoid or eat very sparingly. There are also some nice recipes. [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/60-seconds[/URL] Have you got your own glucose meter? If so, you can use this to help you formulate a suitable eating plan. Test immediately before you eat and again 2 hours after first bite. Look at the rise from before to after. If it is more than 2mmol/l there are too many carbs in the food. It is preferable to keep it under 1.5mmol/l. The flatter the better. If you also keep a food diary including portion sizes and record your levels alongside you will soon see which foods your body is not coping with. It is essential you start to read the nutrition labels on packaged food and look for "total carbohydrate". This will tell you how may grams of carbs per 100g are in that food - so according to the portion size you eat you can calculate how many carbs you will be eating. Unless I am only having a teaspoonful, I rarely buy anything that has more than 10g carbs per 100g. I should also add that whilst taking Gliclazide you do need to test regularly.
