[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 2058627, member: 94045"] Hello and welcome, There is a lot of ecellent advice above, and I agree. I won't repeat at length, but: Ask for a print out of your blood test results. You are entitled to these. The receptionist should be able to help if you give them a ring. Anything you don't understand, ask on here. Buy a blood glucose meter. We will help you use it to your best advantage once you have one. It will become your best friend. Learn to read packaged food labels - it is the full nutrition label you need to find, and look for "total carbohydrate" ignoring any mention of sugar. Try to keep it down to certainly under 10g per 100g and preferably under 5g. (unless all you will eat is a spoonful) Read round the forum and also the main website from the Home page, so you can learn all you can about this condition. Ask questions. Good luck [/QUOTE]
