Hi
@chester1964
Welcome.
Advice in order of merit.
Get a meter...(I use the navvi from home health, others prefer other makes.)
Once we get the diabetic warning or actual DX.
It's time to forget all we have been told about food that's 'healthy'
Because most of that 'isn't' for us....(unlikely it's not appropriate for must either, but that's another topic)
Spent a good time in hospital, but didn't see a dietician.
Ate the food provided by a dieticians input I'd guess somewhere in the chain as it crashes into cost management.
My guess would be most would be trained to promote the 'Eatwell' diet, and wouldn't risk straying to far from that.
So unlikely to have much to say different to what is already out there and proven not to work for us.
Aka , eat the same as now, just less of it...oh and eat low cal lo fat, yada yada...but not gonna lie, it's gonna get worse ....
To sum up.
We have issues with processing carbs.
The benefits to lowering them, for me is just overwhelming, examples on here & from my own experience lead me to that conclusion.
I'm the one experiencing the issues.
I'm the one most upto date on what actually IS working for ME.
Not some health professionals working from a failed eating plan, many are debunking.
Top tip.
If this was your boat, and you were warned there was a bigger risk, it might sink on it's next sailing, you'd learn & do as much about those risks as possible & try to prevent it
So you'd have years of happy safer sailing.
This body is ours.
We don't get to buy another.
Let's be the best captains of this one, as we can be.
Read for yourself.
Learn what foods can do.
Now your numbers, don't just accept 'yep, everything's ok'
Take note of blood tests
And this ....low numbers better

THIS as one of my most helpful links given by others when I first arrived.
Good luck.
