[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 926210, member: 93179"] Rises/ spikes of under 2 are considered OK, but as you've learnt his pre meal level isn't. Use the nutritional labelling on food packaging to learn their carbohydrate content, the "Carbohdrates...of which sugars..." one, but look at the [B]total[/B] carbohydrate values, and try to keep these down as far as possible. Bread, cakes, biscuits - flour in general, cereals, potatoes and other starchy (usually root) vegetables, rice pasta, high sugar fruits (e.g. the bananas) - as well as all sugary foods are the ones to be cautious over. But also watch out for hidden added sugars in other processed foods too. Try not to keep any of those foods that he's likely to binge on off your shopping list and out of the house, then temptation will require more effort on his part...:D Instead look at low carbohydrate alternatives for him - it's possible to replace many baked goods with lovely low carb alternatives using ground almonds, coconut or sesame flour,etc, and low carb sugar alternatives such as stevia or erythritol, (or xylitol if you don't have dogs). Look in our low carb recipes section for recipes. On of our mambers Ewelina, also has an excellent set of recipes on her [URL='http://www.diabeticgoodbaking.com/p/about-my-blog_7.html']blog[/URL], too.. He may need to adjust his insulin as he adjust his carbohydrate intake so hopefully someone will advice you on this. Robbity [/QUOTE]
