[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 2100023, member: 94045"] Hi and welcome to the forum. You have found the best place for help and support. We are all diabetics of one sort or another, so who better to take advice from? Cutting out sugar is of course necessary, but did you know that ALL carbs turn to sugar once in the system? Sugar is only one carb. The main culprits are bread (of any colour), potatoes, pasta, rice, anything containing flour, pastry, batter, and most fruits. You will now be thinking that if you cut these out you will lose even more weight and energy. True - UNLESS you increase your fat consumption and eat normal amounts of protein. Good fats include all dairy, full fat yogurts, cream, real butter, cooking with animal fats such as lard, goose or duck fat, and of course butter. Avoid vegetable and industrial seed oils that ready meals and shop bought meals always contain. Cook from scratch. The more carbs you cut, the more fats and protein you need to add to balance your weight and energy requirements. Apologies if you are a vegetarian. There is a whole section on this forum for vegetarians which you would find useful. We have a lot of links that are useful for newcomers but I am away at present and don't have the facilities to post them. [/QUOTE]
