Message: <blockquote data-quote="Resurgam" data-source="post: 1698298" data-attributes="member: 355878">If you start testing using a meter with cheap strips then you should be able to work out your best way of eating quite quickly - keeping your blood glucose low - not going up more then two whole numbers between starting to eat and two hours later seems to be good.Basically, though, carbohydrate you eat becomes glucose in the blood soon afterwards, and the more carbs you have to process and deal with the harder your pancreas is working, and the more fed up your body becomes at having to deal with the incoming when we eat a typical modern diet.I soon got my breakfasts sorted out - 20gm of carbs absolute maximum and not more than once a week, better around ten - no carbs is bad, though. Once that is sorted I can then go all day without eating and feel fine, then in the evening I might have a meal and a dessert of frozen fruit and cream. I look for low carb frozen fruit, so there is no waste and use a small bowl - more tea cup.You will probably be advised to eat far more than the 50 gm of carbs I find fixed me - there is an unwavering belief that carbs are essential held by many HCPs, despite all the evidence to the contrary.I sorted out my diabetes and have normal levels and my doctor doesn't want to see me. I used my meter to sort out foods which enabled me to keep my BG low, and now I stick to them and so do not need to test very often.</blockquote>
