[QUOTE="Rowgirl, post: 2459038, member: 542803"] Hi, it sounds like you've made great progress so far, well done. I got diagnosed T2 in March, it's been a difficult few months. I thought I could sort it out myself but struggled. It wasn't until I came onto this site that I realised a balanced died for non diabetic isn't a balanced diet for me to maintain good blood sugars. After my hba1c rising from 50 to 67, I've basically cut out a lot of carbs, no bread, pasta, pastry, potatoes etc. Carb levels of below 5g per 100g has brought down my blood sugars. At times this has been overwhelming, but coming onto this site and reading that i'm not alone. My gp is very sweet but it's been the diabetic nurse who deals with diabetics at my surgery. Again she is very nice, but just says a balanced diet and exercise. But it's much more than that. I've got a monitor, and it is helping to find out what to avoid. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
