[QUOTE="pleinster, post: 1576965, member: 221545"] Hi. Yup - buy a meter and strips (whatever rubbish you are told)...test before and 2-2.5 hours after eating...keep a record of times, readings and what you eat...then start reducing the amount of carbohydrates in your diet (realising that carbohydrates effectively turn to sugar in the blood)...adapt your diet accordingly in response to identifying the grub that increases your blood sugar most. I stopped my meds and focused purely on a low carb high fat (ie. the right fats) diet with the approval of my doctors and my levels have been pretty much under control fro about 2 years now (still no meds). We all differ, of course, but lots of us here have reduced blood sugar levels by reducing carbs. I have tagged [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] who will be along with some great info. Research LCHF diets. GET A METER. Good luck. ps. I am also very sensitive to meds and have never been overweight. Small changes have big effects. I got diabetes from drugs taken as treatment following a transplant - so I have my bloods tested all the time. [/QUOTE]
