[QUOTE="James.Kapherr, post: 2511162, member: 555148"] I've had a few days to get my head around things and things are a bit better now. My wife and I have sat down and talked more and we are both prepared to make the changes and she is supporting me. I think we just had a wobble in the week which also seemed to impact other family members - must be something in the air! One of my friends is a PT and he's going to sort me out a low carb diet with the aim to move towards being vegan to help as this is a good way of reducing my levels. I saw the nurse today - feet are fine - she gave me a lot of booklets on every day eating etc I received my meter last night so i've been spending a bit of time experimenting with it. 2 hours after I ate last night, I took a reading - 5.5mmol/L I went to the pub and had 2 pints of cider then tested myself 2 hours later - 5.6mmol/L Before I went to bed, I ate something carby and tested myself when I woke up - 7.9mmol/L Before lunch today, I tested and back to 5.5mmol/L I am understanding more about the impact carbs are playing and how it impacts the levels - which is great as if I can see it, I can understand it and work with it. The thing I am kinda struggling with, is breakfasts; I am limiting myself to omelettes with cheese... which I probably can't maintain that forever. Need to find some ideas :) Porridge could be good - but arrghh no maple syrup is gonna be harsh! Thank you all for all the support you've given this newbie :) Really appreciate it! [/QUOTE]
