[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1765196, member: 94045"] Firstly, you need plenty of strips! This is the best way to help you find your personal danger foods, and also foods that are safe for you. We all have different tolerances. For example, I can manage small portions of potatoes but come unstuck with bread. Try this with all your meals (and snacks, but snacks are not advisable) for a few weeks: Test immediately before you eat Test again 2 hours after first bite Look at the difference between the before and after levels. If it is more than 2mmol/l there are too many carbs in that meal. Keep a detailed food diary including portion sizes and record your levels alongside. Patterns will emerge, and it won't be long before your danger foods become obvious. You can then try again with smaller portions or decide to eliminate some of the carbs. You are likely to have some surprises and some shocks. [/QUOTE]
