[QUOTE="Anthia, post: 2116767, member: 512145"] Hi, I was diagnosed just over a week ago though was waiting and aware for a couple of weeks before that because my GP receptionist told me!! Anyway, so am trying hard to drop carbs, I am aiming for below 100g a day and not finding that too bad, lots of omelettes and veg to fill up for breakfast / brunch and allowing some carbs for dinner. My blood glucose machine arrived today, I ate at around 10:30 for brunch (omelette with peppers, mushrooms, onion, spinach and cheese and no added sugar baked beans) I am not overly hungry and have fed the 5000 that is my family. I thought I would check my BG before eating, it was 6.3 which seems quite high before eating. I have salad with a fishcake (34g carbs). Should I lay off the carbs or am I expecting too much? I really want to get on top of this and have a lower reading in November when I go back for my blood tests. Not helped that my son has left a pack of minstrels in the fridge which are calling to me LOL [/QUOTE]
