[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1431217, member: 295621"] First of all, you should give yourself some slack - diabetes isn't linear and neither is your blood glucose, it's always going to be a bit up and down. Just like life:) You can eat almost anything when on a basal/bolus regime or insulin pump; but obviously within reason... There are many tips and tricks to keeping your BG flat even when eating the "less than ideal" types of food and one of my favourites being to "pre-bolus"; which means to take your bolus insulin in advance of your meal, where the timings are relevant to the glycemic load and fat content of what you're eating. You'll find a wealth of info in this book, which I'd recommend you purchase and read cover to cover. I'm, not endorsing it, or selling it to you, but what you can learn from this wee book can improve your diabetes management dramatically: [URL]https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/cka/Think-Like-Pancreas-Practical-Managing-Diabetes-Insulin-Completely/0738215147[/URL] I certainly don't graze on celery and lettuce between meals and I have a fairly respectable HbA1c and general BG control. I'd say I follow a diet and lifestyle that's fairly close to that of a non-diabetic. It just takes a little pre-planning at times and implementation of some nifty tricks:) [/QUOTE]
