[QUOTE="borofergie, post: 274549, member: 33342"] Certainly not more carbs... How about eat something with fat and protein in it. You can ask your GP for a kit, although in general they are reluctant to prescribe them to T2s. Most of us have to buy our own, but it's the only real way of understanding your diabetes. I think that the problem is probably down to the amount of carbohydrate you are eating, which seems incredibly excessive for a T2 diabetic: [list][*]wholemeal toast [*]orange juice [*]Maxi muscle diet protien bar [*]muller light yoghurt [*]noodles [*]rice crackers [*]sugar free energy drink (probably - it depends with "sugar-free" means). [*]seeded bread [*]pastry parcels [/list] I bet if you tested your BG you'd see that it was very high in the 2 hours after eating any of those things. At best you're going to get massive sugar swings (that will leave you feeling hungry and exhausted). At worst your BG is going to be chronically elevated even between meals... As an example, most of the (non-insulin) T2 diabetics on this forum would eat between 30-150g a day of carbohydrate (most probably <100g). Any single item on your list is more carbohydrate than I eat in a day. What was your last HbA1c test? [/QUOTE]
