[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2184665, member: 372717"] One obvious thing to cut out first, which could make a big difference if you consume a lot : fruit juice - this is just lethal, pretty well pure carbs and in the form of fructose. Likewise other sugary sweet drinks, but I'm mentioning fruit juice because people tend to think that that is healthy. Consider buying a blood testing meter. By testing before and two hours (some people say 1 hour) after meals you can tell which foods are causing you issues, if any. It may well be that a very moderate reduction in carbs will be enough, you can't tell without testing. Be aware that weight gain is a very common symptom of emerging T2 diabetes, reducing your carbs is likely to lead to a drop in weight to your pre-D levels.... [/QUOTE]
