The way I got back to having normal levels (took me around 8 weeks) was to do what Grazer suggested. I started at around 120g / day and then using my blood glucose meter adjusted what I ate each day until my levels normalised. I also used my meter to determine what foods were safe for me rather than blindly dogmatically following anyone's "diet" regime be it low carb or low GI or whatever as that's a very slippery slope in my opinion. The important thing is to get you blood sugar levels back to normal, once you've done that you can begin to worry about the mix of carbs / fat / protein, low GI high GI. I found it useful not to confuse the normal meaning of the word diet with getting control of your levels, they are two different things. When I started I found I could eat no more than 25g uncooked weight or either plain white rice or pasta without my levels going dangerously high. I also found if I swapped to brown rice and the brown or tri color pasta I could eat a bit more.Good luck and keep asking questions.</blockquote>
