[QUOTE="Spiral, post: 97162, member: 19371"] Welcome Pam. I agree totally with what fergus says. Whatever stage your diabetes is at and treatment you end up with, cutting the carbs will probably help your health by stabilising your blood sugars and mean that whatever medication you need has a chance to work efficiently. Running high numbers is likely to make you more prone to developing things like thrush and cystitis as there is so much available food (sugar) for the bugs. The high numbers are probably what is responsible for a lot of the fatigue, although low thyroid function can do that as well. Thyroid problems can sometimes go hand in hand with diabetes. Apart from this website, the one I found most helpful in getting my act together with my diet when I was first diagnosed was [url]http://www.bloodsugar101.com[/url] However, this is an American website and they measure a different figure :roll: The US uses plasma calibrated meters which are mg/dl and require a conversion of dividing by 1.12 then dividing by 18 to get the relevant mmol/L UK number, simples! I know the others have their own favorites too :) You need a diet you can stick to for the rest of your life, succesful diabetics reduce the amount of carbohydrate they eat, whatever diet they adopt. Take a look around here, especially in the food and diet forums. Ask questions, the advice and support here is really good :D [/QUOTE]
