[QUOTE="diabetic_tigs, post: 169271, member: 13331"] Heya, Ive just started carb counting, I did a course run by my hospital a few years ago on this, but at the time did not find it very helpful so as a rebellious teenager stupidly gave up on it pretty quickly :roll: Im getting on ok with it now, been trying superly hard for the last 3 days as I decided that now im 22 i really do need to get to grips with controlling my sugars. Its been going pretty well, especially today when I woke up at 2.6 but successfully managed the hypo, with my sugar peaking an hour later at 9 but quickly coming back down to 6.6 afterwards. Im now at 7.2 and its not quite time for my tea yet (i was late waking up today so everythings a bit out of sync) but Im super hungry and wanting to snack on something that will fill me up, but not push my sugars up. I was thinking of having a couple of rich tea biscuits - literally just 2, but Im not sure what to expect in terms of how this will affect my blood sugars. Ive also heard cheese is good in terms of not raising sugar levels, but im trying to stick to a low fat diet so not too sure about that one. Any suggestions on what works for you? thank you :) [/QUOTE]
