[QUOTE="Phoenix55, post: 1721773, member: 242273"] I was eating a similar diet to yourself before diagnosis and now am down to levels where my dn and GP do not trouble me because I am medication free and am happy with my bg levels. I cut out the cereals for breakfast, and changed to eggs in some form or full fat natural yoghurt which I make at home. In winter I assemble a stew batch every 3/4 days (meat, Mediterranean vege and tin of toms cooked very long and slow) and take it to work to reheat in the microwave. Each batch is slightly different, add herbs, curry powder etc for variety. I summer I take a box of salad stuff. Evenings I have various low carb and full fat meals bit no pasta. It does not matter if it is brown, green or any other colour the grain flour is what spikes my bg. Keep a food diary and the results of your tests before and 2 hours after meals together with weekly weigh in and body measurements. Initially it is a bind but I found it invaluable with working out what was happening. As [USER=408573]@Guzzler[/USER] and [USER=94045]@Bluetit1802[/USER] have suggested, if you are concerned about your bg levels rising out of control then get straight back to your GP and be prepared to camp out until they see you, or go to the nearest A&E.
