[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2396215, member: 451727"] Hi Kay, I'm afraid that that does sound like a fair few carbs. I think people sometimes wonder how can their food be 'bad' for them when it's good quality ingredients and home cooked from scratch, etc. With diabetes though, a slice of wholemeal bread can be as 'bad' glucose wise as a chocolate eclair. An apple can send my levels rocketing in the exact same way a bowl of brown rice will, pasta of any colour?, don't even go there, it sends me higher than a bag of haribo. If you are going to eat pasta/rice/pitta etc then you may as well eat that potato. Please don't think I'm criticising, your current diet is very similar to mine PRIOR to diabetes, now if I do eat those things then I need insulin for it. I wonder whether you could just experiment for a few days with very low carb, ie, cut out the pasta/pitta/rice/toast/cereal (sorry!!) and see what that does to your levels. I do think that is the only way at the moment of determining is it the food sending you high (most likely) or is it type 1 (could be but if I were you I'd want to rule out type 2 first). x [/QUOTE]
