Message: <blockquote data-quote="Synonym" data-source="post: 132260" data-attributes="member: 22966">Hello Rae and welcome to the forum <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> If you are not eating foods with vitamin K that takes out the leafy green veggies like kale, spinach and other greens as well as peas but that should still leave you with a fairly broad choice. The roots should be ok for you but take care not to eat too much of things like carrot or parsnip because of the sugars. Celeriac, swede and cauliflower are particularly low in sugars. You should be able to eat the proteins as in meat, fish, cheeses, eggs and then there are all the nuts and seeds as well as fruits. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  You ought not to be drinking fruit juices anyway as they tend to cause havoc with the BG levels.  :roll: I reckon that lot gives you pretty much the same as my own diet (except for the leafy green veggies which I love <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /> ) so you ought to be able to make a decent diet out of that lot.  8) In common with many others I have had to cut out all the starchy carbs as my body can't handle them at all. When you get home I suggest that you keep a food diary and test before and 2 hours after your meals so that you can see what effect your food has had on your BG levels. You will see a pattern emerging and can use that knowledge to cut down or cut out things that spike your levels and choose the things that keep you more level. Testing is the only way to find out which foods you can handle as we are all different and what suits one person may well not suit another.If you look on the food forum you will find lots of ideas on there and the recipe thread will also help to give you ideas. Any more questions just come back – there is usually someone on here who is happy to help. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
