[QUOTE="daisy1, post: 216123, member: 25759"] Hi Ichabod and welcome to the forum :) By changing what you eat you may be able to bring your levels down without an increase in medication. It isn't enough to just cut out sugar and white flour products, you need to reduce all carby foods. When you test, take a test before the meal, then two hours after the meal. If, as you have been getting, your after-meal level is higher than your before-meal level, it means that you will have to look at what you have been eating and reduce the portion size, or even eliminate that food, until you get down to the pre-meal level. You have to do the testing as different foods affect people differently so no-one can really tell you which foods you can eat. Here is some information which has been written for new members and I think you will find it helpful. If you have any questions then ask and someone here will have an answer for you. [/QUOTE]
