[QUOTE="debrasue, post: 1135148"] Hi, [USER=292760]@Trinidad2016[/USER]. I can imagine how worried you must be as your partner sounds pretty sick, but [USER=140811]@urbanracer[/USER] is giving you some great advice above. I will tag [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] who can also provide some basic information that will help you. I was only diagnosed in March of this year and was very scared to begin with, as I'm pretty hospital-phobic too thanks to some bad experiences in the past, but this forum has provided some excellent advice and made it very easy for me to reduce my blood glucose levels from around 10 on diagnosis to now regularly in the 4s and 5s. And now I'm even quite enjoying the journey! Basically, I follow the Low Carb, High Fat (LCHF) diet, avoiding sugar (including processed foods), bread (unless it's gluten free, and then I still choose low-carb), pastry, rice, pasta, and anything containing flour. I try to stick to 30-40g of carbs per day. Eggs, dairy products (full fat), meat, fish, and above-the-ground vegetables can be eaten liberally. I avoid below-the-ground vegetables (potatoes, swedes, turnips, sweet potato etc) Fruit can be eaten in moderation (check the carbs from fructose) - berries are particularly good, but treat bananas, grapes, etc with caution and dried fruits should be avoided (they contain lots of sugar) So, a typical day for your partner could be: Breakfast - bacon & eggs; Lunch - gluten-free crackers with cheese, or gluten-free toast with pate, a side salad, and raspberries and cream; Dinner - steak and a big crunchy salad, or roast meat and lots of vegetables There are lots of great alternatives to bread, cakes, potatoes, etc - check out the Low Carb Forum and recipes on this site, and [USER=46259]@ewelina[/USER] has some great recipe here: [URL]http://www.diabeticgoodbaking.com/[/URL] Good luck to you and your partner - you've definitely found the right site to make your journey easier. And the more you read on here and the more questions you ask, the easier it will get! [/QUOTE]
