[QUOTE="Tsavor, post: 416681, member: 62514"] Hi I think that you've had some great advice on here already in respect to diet, but we are all individuals and different foods have different effects on all of our Blood Sugars. That said what Carbs you do intake should be accompanied by fibre, so wholewheat pasta, burgen bread etc. I find that the only rice that doesn't have an adverse effect is Basmati rice and better still the brown basmati rice. Fruit was an issue to me until I controlled my sugar count, but even now I only eat fruit with seeds such as strawberries and blueberries for the fibre, I can eat bananas but only when they're still green and firm, once ripe the sugars just explode on me exponentially, for breakfast Allbran works for me but branflakes don't. You do need to test whilst experimenting with what foods work for you. Like you I was genetically pre disposed to diabetes but what caused it was poor diet and being overweight, I was 5'10" and 14.7 st when diagnosed, had I been 12.7 st I would never have become diabetic but I am now permanently insulin resistant and I can't turn the clock back, I have to live with this the rest of my life. Now I am 12.7 st and I'm controlled without medication, but only because I completely changed my diet, don't wait for the dietitian, they'll just tell you not to eat chips, you need to do your own research on the internet and take back control of your life, if you're going to struggle with exercise then diet is all you have left, metformin isn't the answer it made me really ill with a fatty liver.
