[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 2022861, member: 400972"] Hi Elaine and welcome to the forum. First I’ll tag in [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] for her useful info post. As has been said already it’s all carbohydrates not just sugars which raises your blood sugar levels. On diagnosis of type 2 I embarked on a low carbohydrate diet which normalised my blood tests fairly quickly. To replace the energy missing from the carbohydrates I upped my fat intake, not madly, I just stopped buying low fat products. The Desmond course will almost certainly unfortunately teach the Eatwell plate which may be healthy for non diabetics but too many carbs for us Type 2s. As far as testing is concerned most Type 2s don’t get testing kit on prescription but it is an invaluable tool in gaining control. If you decide you want testing kit we can advise you on the best ones. [/QUOTE]
