[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 1613334, member: 209498"] [USER=448756]@Red_river_[/USER] All this is confusing at first and takes a bit of time to get to grips with. When buying foods look for the total Carbohydrate content, try to get foods with less than 5 gms or less of carbohydrates per 100 gms - ie 5% or less. NHS guidelines are that a 'portion' is a serving no bigger than the size of your fist. Morning fbgs are often higher because of 'Dawn Phenomenon' where your liver dumps stored glucose into your blood as you wake to give you energy to get going. It is quite common and non-diabetics can get it too. [/QUOTE]
