[QUOTE="susieq67, post: 602803, member: 119739"] and I'm beginning to get my ahead around testing and what I can and can't eat :) So far today have had my lowest readings (5.8 pre lunch & 4.9 two hours later :D) since diagnosis - think the 10lb I've managed to lose so far has helped as much as monitoring what I eat. I've also had a lot more energy today - but that might be due as much to the cooler weather as anything else ! Generally my waking BS is around 6.1 and bedtime is slightly higher. As I've had 'good' readings all day today I'm going to take a chance and try a [U]small[/U] helping of pasta with a [U]large[/U]r than usual helping of Quorn Bolognese sauce (I do so miss my pasta:() - wish me luck !! I haven't been able to find anything for breakfast, other than cereal, fruit and yoghurt, that I can stomach without feeling nauseous, but after trying out different cereals I've found that Quakers Oat Crisp gives me the lowest 'spike' - ditto Ryvita Wholegrain Crackerbread doesn't cause my blood sugars to spike like other breads/crispbreads; have yet to check out what a small jacket potato will do to them ! And I still need to find something to snack on when the 'munchies' attack - nuts are out for me as they give me chronic indigestion:( (of course, pre diagnosis, I could always snack on fruit but that's off the menu too :() [/QUOTE]
