[QUOTE="Phoenix55, post: 1592762, member: 242273"] I also ate to my meter, without realising that I was doing it. I would test before a meal and then about 2 hours later. By keeping a food diary and rigorously testing each meal twice I soon began to understand which foods caused a spike in bg. It took time for the bg levels to drop on a regular basis, but then I was fortunate that my diabetes was picked up when I was only just into the diabetic range and so borderline prediabetic. I lost the excess weight gradually and it has stayed off. My bg levels stabilised at prediabetic to normal levels, I am happy with that because it allows me some flexibility occasionally and I can also be more rigorous if my body becomes more sensitive to carbs. Keep the rise across a meal to less than 2, preferably less than 1.5, and that meal is OK. Three meals a day leave me feeling full and not wanting to snack between times. Be a little patient and you will see results. Trust your meter - it told me that my local supermarket was selling some 'smoked' products that were enhanced with sugar so I steer clear of them now.
