[QUOTE="poemagraphic, post: 2058559, member: 503830"] The old adage 'You are what you eat' is so true. Not all diets/ways of eating suit everybody. With the advantage of a 'BG meter' we can see from hour to hour the impact of what we have ingested, has on us, and how long it lasts. I feel this is a good way to keep track daily of how different foods effect us. I would go so far as to say it is 100% essential . How else could we know this very important factor in our well-being? I decided to try [B]L[/B]ow [B]C[/B]arb [B]H[/B]igh [B]F[/B]at not as a means to lose weight ([I]In fact I have not actually lost any weight at all in the last two months of eating this way[/I]). I am currently keeping my carb intake below 50g a day. This might not be suitable for every 'body' Let how 'you' feel, be your judge. If you feel it detrimental in any way then you have the power to stop or increase your carb intake. Don't try to go to low to quickly I would say. My DN told me to eat around 60g of carbs [B]per meal[/B]. Include plenty of rice, pasta, potatoes, bread etc. I did NOT try and dissuade her from this ([I]Her teaching was all she had to go on... which several of us here know from experience, to be perhaps not the best advice to give a diabetic). [/I] Members of this site are strongly advised/told not to advise on medical matters (with good reason) and I am not advocating any of us every should. I trust Q you have come back today with some good sound advice (unlike my own experience) and feel prepared for the changes that you have to make. My experience was life changing for me. You have the power to change your life TODAY and every day from this moment forward. You/we always have had! Perhaps along life's journey we just simply forgot this fact. I wish you every success in your endeavour Po [/QUOTE]
