[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2425940, member: 372207"] The thing is, all carbs convert to sugar in your body. So you might want to have a look at the carbs you eat, likely high carbs in the food you mention are the toast, the peach, the fruit yoghurt and the pasta. And the crisps of course. Do you like pork scratchings by any chance to substitute the crisps? You obviously have a glucose meter, so you could use it to test right before a meal and two hours after, and see how that meal affected your blood glucose. If it went up by more than 2, you might want to consider having fewer carbs next time. Here are two links, one on the basics of diabetes: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/basic-information-for-newly-diagnosed-diabetics.17088/[/URL] And one a blog on food by one of our members: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog/jokalsbeek.401801/[/URL] I think you'll find both very usefull!
