[QUOTE="iHs, post: 89511, member: 8799"] Laura Most fruit is a bit up in carb value even though it's looked upon as being healthy. Its got plenty of vitamins though. Green veg is also very good but much much lower in carb so you can eat a fair amount of that :mrgreen: Rather than look at a very low carb diets, as you are just finding your way with diabetes, for the time being use the 'trial and error' method of adjusting your insulin bolus to suit the amount of carb that you eat. Most people find out exactly how much bolus they need to use by increasing/decreasing the dose so that 2hrs after they have eaten, their bg levels are where they are meant to be.
