[QUOTE="ChocFish, post: 28191, member: 981"] Hi Lorraine, welcome to the forum As Sue has already pointed out to you, your diet is too high in carbohydrates, I know that you have been diabetic for a few years now, but I wonder have you ever read the book by Dr Bernstein, The Diabetes Solution? It has become the diabetics bible, and this is one book that everybody should read. I suggest you start reading posts in this forum, and I am sending you links to start you off with, you will soon see that we are all promoting the low carb approach, it helps many of us to lose weight and to achieve the bg levels of a non-diabetic. It is not always necessary for a type 2 diabetic to switch to insulin, many manage on just diet and exercise or oral meds, diet and exercise, most need to reduce their carb intake though, if not then medication needs to be increased all the time and losing weight becomes almost impossible.

Do come back and ask any questions that you may have, and share the good and not so good experiences with us. All the best Karen [/QUOTE]
