It is the foods that don't spike you that will be healthy for you.Reducing your plate size, cutting out the snacks, doing more, even just walking a little bit more will all help get your blood glucose to where you want to be.Low carb, higher fat will work if you get your own personal choice of foods that your body can cope and tolerate with.You have to tailor your diet, so you can eat to your meter and test, test, test, experiment, experience, test, test, test!Counting calories, carbs, food, weight, means nothing if you are eating the foods that make you ill.Hope you work it out!</blockquote>
