I am using myfitnesspal it is great and the breakdown is really good, just changed my profile as I had no weight gain or loss now have got weight gain, my profile at the moment calls for 150g of carbs, which has to go as this is the cause (i think) of my high bgI think
You can still use myfitnesspal to gain weight. It must be very hard to get the right diet for BG control when you don't want to lose weight.

I think

I was hoping that by cutting out so many carbs and sugars that my bg would have been better Andbreath .Hey ho ...early days i suppose .

And exercise really helps with lowering bg. Just walking for 45 mins can make a difference xIn the early days, the changes in bloods are not necessarily immediate. Your body, and in particular the digestive enzymes it produces, are primed by experience.
When I was on the downward trend, I used to find I would toddle along with scores of x or y, then for no material reason, my bloods would drop a notch, then stay there. So, you do need to be patient. If your eating plan is robust, and you stick to it, you should see results. Right now you are still training your body to accept you want it to run much lower. It's trying to keep you higher, because that's been your body's comfort zone for quite some time. You need to help it understand who is the boss.
You don't have to stick to the carb intake it recommends. You decide how many. You can make up calories with foods such as meat, fish, nuts, eggs, cream and cheese. Olives are good too. I use myfitnesspal to help me keep within the calorie and carb limits I set myself.I am using myfitnesspal it is great and the breakdown is really good, just changed my profile as I had no weight gain or loss now have got weight gain, my profile at the moment calls for 150g of carbs, which has to go as this is the cause (i think) of my high bg
