[QUOTE="tinyfilosofer, post: 1240293, member: 305886"] I see you have described your meals which is good. But remember it's the drinks with the sugar that are horrible. Check the carbs on the bottles. A half can of coke can make you go way high. I am a control freak so I prick my fingers multiple times a day to check. Agree on how much carb you can eat a day and religiously stick to it. Here's a carb website you may want to use. [URL]http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/calorie-chart-nutrition-facts[/URL] It helps as you can key in random food and they will tell you how much carb there is. I'm female, 37 yo, I take in 150g of carb a day. I'm type 1 and I inject insulin to match it. Everyone is different. You'll need to learn how much carb you need by experiment. See weight gain or loss to moderate the carb you eat. When you are comfortable, stick to it. My dietitian suggests 150 g as minimum because I do a lot of brain activities and the carbs helps me. When I don't eat the carbs i can't focus. Others swear by no carbs diet. It is up to you to decide. Listen to your body intently is my philosophy. [/QUOTE]
