Message: <blockquote data-quote="MimT" data-source="post: 2686203" data-attributes="member: 585741">So far, through monitoring blood glucose, I've discovered I need to avoid the following foods:- Banana (as above)- Cereal for breakfast (a small serve was okay later in the day)- More than one slice of toast for breakfast - two is a no-no- Steamed dim sims with soy sauce (surprised me - but hey, at least I found out about this one)- Sweet potato - a small portion with green veges is fine, but not a larger oneBreakfast is when I need to be most wary of foods. Some foods have less reaction later in the day.Things I can have with no problem, so far, some depending on the quantity and/or time of day:- Green lentil, carrot, onion and tomato soup (yum yum!)- Eggs- Meat and fish: lean beef, chicken, tinned salmon and tuna, sardines, deep fried fish- Dairy - cheese, yoghurt, skim milk - in moderation- Vegetables and fruit - peas, broccoli, cauliflower, onion, sweet potato (small serve only), avocado, cucumber, tomato, celery, lettuce, fresh-squeezed orange (afternnon only)- Wholemeal and wholegrain bread in small servings (one slice at a meal)- Most dressings and sauces in small quantities- Dips - Hommus, probably tsatsiki and similar- Beverages - Espresso, presumably tea, , diet cola, wineThankfully there are more foods I can have than those I must avoid so far. Still experimenting. I haven't tried icecream yet - I expect that will be on the forbidden list <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
