Message: <blockquote data-quote="cugila" data-source="post: 94264" data-attributes="member: 15325">Hi Sachin.It is confusing, but if you want to get good control over your Bg levels then things have to change.I followed that dietary advice for years and progressively got worse and worse. More tablets, more problems culminating in a Triple Bypass Heart Surgery in 2004. I came out of the hospital and was given the same dietary advice - got worse again and my Diabetes spiralled out of control.Then in January this year after much searching and research of my own I started a low carb regime. I found that it didn't suit me too well. I had noticed benefits in weight loss and Bg control though. So, I decided to use a low GI diet, coupled with a massive reduction of carbohydrates.Result after 7 months, weight loss of nearly 4 stone, eyesight improved to the extent that I no loger have to wear glasses for distance, Bg levels that are consistently well within guidelines, lipids and Trigs all improved.  So if cutting down on carbohydrates is not the thing to do, well I haven't noticed !! Fitness and vitality have improved immensely, which at the age of 61 is a major bonus.I have a life now, not an existence.As Romola says, "You pays your money........"  Read all the threads on here about diet and foods. Ask the questions, we will give you our advice. It will conflict. Nothing we can do about that. Since reducing my carbs I can actually tolerate some but it is only with testing after meals that I KNOW what foods are doing to my Bg levels.Hope that helps ?   <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
