[QUOTE="Hiitsme, post: 1260961, member: 181310"] Hi [USER=309769]@that steve[/USER] The diet I used to get things under control, probably from about 6 weeks in and found by using a meter and testing. Breakfast - scrambled eggs & mushrooms or fried breakfast Lunch - salad Evening Meal varied a lot fish, about 3 times a week, chicken sometimes beef or lamb lots of veg, roasted veg - red onion, garlic, peppers, courgettes etc plus probably another 3 or 4 vegetables such as cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, beans, sweet corn, etc One very small piece of potato weighing 30 to 50 grams. I weighed everything at first. After I got my first HbA1c of 33 I tried a lot more experimenting. By the time I got my second HbA1c of 33 my GP insisted I put some weight on. I added Livlife bread for breakfast, Lidl roll for lunch. I also found I could manage 50g of rice and 60g of pasta occasionally. My weight has gone up slightly and so has my HbA1c to 34. Not too bad but I'm still working on my diet. What I think really helped as well was walking. I now walk about 8-10 miles a day. [/QUOTE]
