[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1252876, member: 21149"] Hi and welcome. Do get a meter as it will enable to you to feel more in control and to take control. If the reading 2 hours after a meal is more than 8.5mmol then you know you have to tweak the diet further and add medication if needed. The SD Codefree on the web is low-cost. Daisy will provide the usual good diet advice for newbies. The thing about carbs is they are addictive and you need to break free. As you continue to reduce the carbs AND have enough proteins and fats to keep you feeling full your appetite for carbs will reduce. It means ignoring most of the aisles in the supermarket and ignoring so many adverts and cooking recipes. After a while you will begin to see how unhealthy so much of our food is. An Hba1C of 6.9% is not too bad but you need to aim for below 6.5%. If you are not already on Metformin talk to the nurse about that. [/QUOTE]
