[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 600247, member: 94045"] Testing is essential in order to work out which foods you can eat, which you can't, and which you can manage in moderation. If you test before eating and 2 hours after your first bite, you will get quite a lot of shocks to begin with until you find the right sort of foods to eat. As far as eating is concerned, you need to cut your carbs right down as it is the carbs that keep your blood sugar levels elevated. All carbs turn to sugar once inside the system, some quicker than others, but the motto is Carbs = Sugar. Potatoes, rice, pasta, bread, pastry and batter are the worst culprits, and you have to be careful with fruits and all milk (except lactose free milk). Please come back and ask as many questions as you like. [/QUOTE]
