[QUOTE="lindisfel, post: 412798, member: 57698"] Hi Phoenix, Thank you for your reply. I have lost over two stone as a result of cutting carbs and my BMI is now less than 24....I guess I have had a big appetite since I am 1.96..still a tall but scraggy old man! :-) I think the key to cracking this is as you say, cutting down on the carbs further and increasing the protein/low GI intake. I shall try cutting the porridge and bread I eat down to half the present amount. Porridge spiked me up to 11.1 today one hour after starting breakfast. I had 150 grams bread today with cheese for lunch and I was 10.8..I had no fruit until mid after noon. I've already cut my potato intake right down but I reckon I may have to cut down further...my wife is giving me 4oz atm. Last night for dinner I had : chicken breast; microwaved 0.5 red onion; grated raw carrot; broccoli; peppers, 4 oz new pots. and for afters I had a fresh apricot and c.30 almond nuts. Since I had a lot of low GI with the potatoes it kept my +1hr from meal start down to 8.7. Finding these early spikes after eating has made my HBa1c results since diagnosis much more explicable. Problems is; the medics think my BG is under control because my HBa1c is 46! However, I reckon I must still be having damaging spikes c.+1hr after meals, but the later control brings down the average glucose. best regards Derek [/QUOTE]
