[QUOTE="mdsremos, post: 158163, member: 29788"] Hi, I know exactly how you feel!!! I tried diet controlled for a week then ended up on insulin, 2 units before each meal, with my levels up and down all the time. It got to the point with the diet controlled that I daren't eat inbetween meals and lost 3lbs and ended up hungry!!! You have to keep up with the snacks but make them sensible, for example I eat so much fruit now although I find bananas send my sugar levels really high at times! My evening meals tend to raise my level about the recommended 7.8, sometimes as high as 9.7, but they are undecided as to whether they should increase my lunchtime insulin. I also find I have to manage my morning meal/snacks better as I tend to hypo around 10am'ish which isnt good :( It really is such a balancing act and I test some days more than they ask me too so I can check which foods my body processes better, I;ve found white bread is really bad at raising my levels so changed to wholemeal, white pasta is bad yet rice is really good....whats good for one person is not good for another. Take your time, sit back and think about what your eating and relax........ [/QUOTE]
