[QUOTE="BooJewels, post: 868908, member: 181094"] I'm with NoCrbs4Me - your doctor sounds like an imbecile and clearly knows nothing about treating or managing diabetes. Fancy leaving you with that advice to go out and deal with it. I hope that he actually gave you more guidance than just that, although I don't know what typical treatment you can expect in the US. It's not flavour that raises your BG, it's carbohydrates predominantly - they're the starches and sugars in bread, pasta, rice, cakes, biscuits, pastry, cereals, fruit etc. And I'm afraid they're in beer too - my son calls it liquid bread. In fact, seasonings and flavourings are some of the things we can add with relative impunity. If you reduce what you eat from that group of foods, you'll make improvements straight away. I've relatively recently dropped more carbs from my diet and have had a total rethink on what I eat and am enjoying my food more than ever - I'd developed a bad relationship with it because anything I ate raised my BG badly, so I felt guilty every time I ate and stopped enjoying it. I've now improved my control, lost weight and my diet is more varied, tasty and interesting. It takes a bit of effort and thought in shopping and planning meals and will take a while to adjust and embrace the changes, but it will certainly be worth it when you reap the rewards. My husband has lost weight with me too as he's adopted some of my modifications. [/QUOTE]
