[QUOTE="Jem, post: 35619, member: 11146"] It's very definitely worth experimenting a lot to start with - and once you understand which foods are your "safe" foods (ie - ones you can eat freely without having an impact on your BG) then you have at least a good base which you can return to :) --- and then you can try different foods and see how your BGs react ... for myself, when I try something new I do a 2 and 4 hour test (without eating in between tests) and if the secind figure is lower then I know I can use the first (2 hr PP) firgure to accurately describe the food's effect :) - but I'm not an HCP and no training other than 2.5 months self stabbing in the finger (LOL) so I'm probably not the best person to be giving advice :) All the best, J./x [/QUOTE]
