[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1815599, member: 94045"] Hello and welcome to the forum. You were feeling grotty because your body is struggling to get used to lower blood sugars. It is very common, and will disappear as long as you don't give in to it. You are on the right track, testing and cutting out those starchy carbs. Are you only testing randomly? You are best to test immediately before eating and again 2 hours after first bite. Look at the difference between the before and after test levels and keep this down to as far under 2mmol/l as you can. If it is above 2mmol/l there were too many carbs in that food, which you will need to identify and change things. Keeping a detailed food diary will help enormously with this. If you are very hungry I suggest you are not eating enough fat. As we cut carbs we also need to increase fat or will run out of energy, and be hungry. Fats and protein will stop hunger. Carbs will just make you more hungry. Tagging [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] for her very helpful information post. Meanwhile read round and gather as much information as you can, and ask as many questions as you like. [/QUOTE]
