[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 2300383, member: 429870"] Believe me, I do share your outrage! I eat VLC and am under rather than over-weight, but my bg doesn't seem to care. I see that others began with far higher A1cs than me and with weight to lose, and yet now are rightly proud of their far lower numbers. I don't follow the forums where people share what they have eaten, because I know many will have enjoyed far more carbs than I could allow myself and yet are doing far better than me. But then, a non-diabetic friend has just developed cancer. She has had her bladder taken out and an external bag fitted. Would I swap with her? No!!! Grapes are some of the most high carb fruits. Do you like raspberries, strawberries, blackberries? Any of those could be a fruity treat (especially with double cream) but would almost certainly not raise your bg so much. You can buy frozen packs of mixed berries and just take out a few when temptation hits. Mixed with cream and/or low carb Greek yoghurt berries ooze a delicious syrup. Eaten slowly and mindfully with a teaspoon this can be much more satisfying than casually eating stuff while standing and cooking. Forgive me if you already know all this, but if not you might find Diet Doctor helpful: [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/fruits[/URL] [/QUOTE]
