You need to test before and about 2 hours after you eat to see what your body can handle without a huge rise in bg levels. Some people can't eat potatoes some can, some can't eat rice others can. Some can't have pizza (like me) some can. One thing you'll learn is that this disease is different for everyone. Basics as far as what to eat, plenty of veggies and fruit (fruits i can handle tend to be apples, pears, oranges and berries), Whole grain products: bread and pastas (in moderation), eggs/egg substitute, lean meats, poultry and fish. And as long as you keep it to a serving size and count the carb count you can still have milk! But if you don't already try switching to skim!

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 I don't really know how far along I am with diabetes two years ago my doctor told me my readings were high and gave me my meter I checked for six months and got one high reading so I stopped checking three weeks ago I had blood work done and the doc said it was all out of range so I started rechecking first reading 325 on a ultra meter.. my readings are up and down never low I have to go to a food eud. class I haven't eaten any candy cut back on everything.. white bread wipes me over the top. I was given a script for pills but they haven't come yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
