[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 952877, member: 140811"] Hi [USER=210241]@vicky61[/USER] I would say that you are likely to find it hugely beneficial if you cut sugar out ! Sugar is a carbohydrate, but carbohydrates come in many different forms. Bread, pasta, potato, rice and some fruits are examples. You are likely to find it beneficial if you reduce your portion sizes. The reference intake of carbs is 260g a day, but on this forum you will meet people who have set their intake level very low (like 50g) and many in the mid range (100 - 150g). Basically you have to find out what's right for you, we cannot tell you. Look at your carb intake and see where you can make reductions. You don't have to go mad cutting down to 50g in one go, take it in stages and see how you get on. Check your blood glucose before and after meals so that you can see how much your levels rise for a given meal. Don't panic, it gets easier. [/QUOTE]
