[QUOTE="catherinecherub, post: 60080"] Hi nicki, Have a read around the forum and this website, [url=http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes]http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes[/url] for an explanation of why restricting carbohydrates is a must in managing your diabetes. It is really trial and error for all of us as we are all different and the amounts we can safely consume are different. The advice that several members have received is that a plate of food should consist of 50% carbs. This is the problem as it conflicts with what actually works. Have you been supplied with a meter and test strips? Management is impossible without these essential tools. You need to test, test and test again until you know the foods that are causing your levels to spike. Hopefully you will be able to get your head round why your levels are too high and then come back and ask all the questions you may have. With regard to your weight, it is estimated that 20% of diagnosed diabetics are not overweight. Hope this helps, Catherine. [/QUOTE]
