[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2718231, member: 355878"] Unfortunately the problem is not cakes biscuits etc, if you can't deal with carbs the healthy foods are just as much carbs and will push up your blood glucose. No matter how much you exercise there is always going to be a tendency to have high blood glucose levels if you continue to have more carbohydrate in your diet than you can deal with. The blood glucose tester will be helpful in picking up what meals you can cope with and which are too much. I found that I can extract almost twice the carbs listed from legumes - I have come across others who find the same thing, so peas and beans need to be limited in quantity. Fortunately many ordinary type 2s can return to normal levels eating protein and fat and using carbs for colour, texture, flavour and variety rather than them being main part of meals. [/QUOTE]
