[QUOTE="Crocodile, post: 1882752, member: 468583"] Burgers and chips. Sure you're not just taking the p*ss. For the benefit of the doubt you seriously need to educate yourself on the food types that contain carbohydrates. Forget the sugar nonsense. Sugar itself is a carb. You need to have a target for meal time carbohydrates and include the contribution of everything you eat. For instance, I have no more than about 20g of carbs per meal. This is higher than some people here but lower than others. You'll need to find your own level after obtaining a meter. As an example, I'll be having berries, yoghurt and nuts for my lunch. Berries - 100g, total carbs = 11g Full fat Greek yoghurt - 125g, total carbs = 5.8g Pecan nuts and seeds - 30g, total carbs = 4.1g total carbs for meal = 20.9g Unfortunately, diabetes often is non symptomatic until the damage is already done. Stick around here and read lots. We're quite a caring and friendly lot. Take care, Glenn [/QUOTE]
