[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 1936448, member: 480869"] You’ve been given pretty typical advice tbh. This advocates brown carbs rather than white ones. I guess it’s slightly better because they spike a little more slowly but they still spike! Most of us in here would tell you to avoid those too. Same for any starchy food that for some frankly bizarre reason is recommended by many medics. That I should precisely the food that causes us trouble. I totally agree the convince of bread is hard to replace. Try another post specifically asking for cold lunchbox ideas. I do a lot of cold meats and cheeses, Greek yoghurt, nuts etc in lunch bag with ice pack for freshness if I need such a meal. The ditch the carbs Facebook page has a lunchbox section. It’s aimed at kids but could be upscaled for adults. Personally theres no way I’d take drugs before trying diet changes first, especially at your levels. But that is my personal choice. She probably doesn’t believe it can be turned around (many drs don’t - because they don’t give people the right tools and information to do that). Strips are expensive. Around £20-30 per 50 depending on which ones. eBay sometime has some bargains but check the dates are ok. If you possibly can do get some even for a short time. It’s a huge invaluable investment in your future health. There are some cheaper strips out there. I think it’s [USER=400972]@Rachox[/USER] who has a post about those. Even if you just test a few meals immediately before eating and 2 hrs after to get a sense of what’s awful about And what’s good. You are young to have this but that’s all the more reason to take action and remove the things that make it worse as you have a long way to go if your choices are making things worse instead of better.
