[QUOTE="Buachaille, post: 20118, member: 1096"] Reduce the carbs. My godmother was Italian and I love plain pasta with olive oil, black pepper, anchovies and a nice glass of heavy red but have not had my weekly fix of pasta in the 14 months since diagnosis. I keep taking the heavy red! Cut out sugar completely; try green or white tea (no milk) and espresso made with good quality freshly ground coffee; you will find that they have a natural sweetness. Avoid fruits which have a particularly high sugar content, grapes for example. Don't eat biscuits or for that matter anything that contains trans fats. Reduce portion sizes, except fro green veg. And test twice a day until the statistics show that you have hit the target, then randomly monitor your morning glucose levels. If someone is diagnosed with alcoholic related liver disease they are asked to avoid alcohol or face the consequences. If you are diagnosed as T2 diabetic you either make the choice of not overly indulging in the things that elevate blood sugar levels - or face the consequences. Its not that difficult - or if it is, simply reduce the intake of what you know is not doing you any favours. Bite the bullet and see life improve. [/QUOTE]
