[QUOTE="Kaz261, post: 1228355, member: 220230"] Hi melliemars, as Nosher has said we're all different so experimenting and testing is the only way to determine what suits you. Have you got a bg monitor as that will help you greatly? I'm not diabetic but have RH so my needs may vary slightly to yours but firstly I cut out all refined sugar. I then looked at the carbs I was eating, both quantity and type. Many on this forum follow the lchf diet and get excellent results. My advice would be to reduce your carbs slowly and drink plenty of water. There's lots of ideas in the low carb section of the forum. I guess a typical day for me is: Breakfast - full fat Greek yogurt with a few berries, a sprinkling of muesli (no dried fruit), almonds and cinnamon with black decaf coffee. Sometimes I might have eggs, bacon, mushrooms etc if I have time. Morning snack - very small apple Lunch - salad with some protein or omelette Afternoon snack - nut/seed protein bar (Nature Valley do one with peanuts and sunflower seeds that doesn't affect my bg) Dinner - varies really. Meat or fish with veg or salad. Homemade curry, chilli, soup etc. Try to choose above ground veg. Supper - milky decaf coffee and a square of 80% dark choc. I can tolerate a small amount of carbs with each meal and personally feel better for it. These include whole grain basmati rice, wholewheat pasta, very small jacket potato, a couple of small roast/boiled potatoes etc. Celeriac is also a good alternative to potato if you like it as its lower in carbs. I don't like it mashed, but it's nice roasted and I make oven chips with it. Other good snacks are sausages, cheese, nuts, meat, small pieces of fruit (if it doesn't spike your bg). Please don't be afraid to eat. Even small changes can make a difference. Try to cook everything from scratch if you can so you know what you're eating. There's lots of hidden sugars in processed food. If you have to eat ready made food, check the label. You need to look at total carbs not just sugar. Something can be fairly low in sugar but high in carbs and carbs will raise your blood sugar levels. I hope this helps a little. [/QUOTE]
