Hello Richard and welcome to the forum.

You can eat meat (hot or cold), fish, eggs cooked any which way, vegetables, salads, cheese, butter, unsweetened plain yogurts, bacon and eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, berry fruits, nuts in moderation .....

There is a thread on the forum entitled "what have you eaten today". There are some good ideas on there, and also loads of recipes in the food and nutrition section.

Do you have a meter? If not, you could do with one. You can then test yourself before you eat and 2 hours after. If the difference between the 2 readings is more than 2mmol/l (preferably less) there is something in that meal that needs attention. It is trial and error with carbs. Through testing, I have learnt I can manage a slice of bread, but not 2 slices, I can mange 2 new potatoes, but not 4. And so on ......

Thank you. I will check on the forum for more information. As for meter... I don't want to think about it now. I fear needles and anytime I see blood I get a serious headache which no medication has been effective until it fades off on it's own after 3 days.
It doesn't matter whether it's my blood or someone else and my doctor still don't have a solution to that.
I really wish sugar levels can be monitored without me seeing blood. It's such a shame for me

Check out the Freestyle Libre.
It's too expensive for me, at the moment, but if the price ever drops...

Have you ever heard or read about treating diabetes with "a new molecular therapy that uses targeted peptides and proteins to restore cellular function"?

Yup.
Every so often someone creates a profile and makes a few posts promoting this awesome new treatment.
Then we never hear from them again.

I just dismiss it as :spam:
Then I put the poster on IGNORE

Wow, I will love to have one. The only problem is the sensor replacement. If I buy one it means I will need £ 114.00 every month to continue the monitoring. The company should know that this is an expensive gadget if it has to be used continuously.
They should reconsider the price for affordability

I totally agree.
But give it a year or two, and maybe the price will come down.
I hope.
 
Hi Tammy

I personally would try to eliminate the worst carbs such as bread, pasta n rice n potaoes for a month.have a look at the liw carbing recipes and try to eat more fat ie some cream in coffee etc...
Your levels if you do that will drop.

Hard over christmas, but have a look at the christmas posts here.. There's some good ideas.

Honest if you can eliminate the worst carbs for a month.

There is some good advice for low carbing coming along hopefully very soon for diabetics....
