[QUOTE="Celtic.Piskie, post: 89515, member: 21171"] Personally, i'd leave the huge diet/lifestyle changes until after you've got used, and got a hand on your diabetes. Carb counting was the key for me, along with a Glycemic Load idea. The glycemic load of a food gives you an idea of how much, and how quickly the sugar will be absorbed into your bloodstream. This helped me a great deal. Read up on your favourite foods, and see what their GL's are. Record everything that you can. BSL's before dinner, then 1 and two hours after. Record what you ate, and see if you find a pattern. After a week or two, you may just need a higher ratio. I know it's confusing, but you're not alone. [/QUOTE]
