Each of us reaction a bit differently to certain foods.  As for me rice and bread really raises my blood sugar.  I have had good results with brocolli, tomatoes, cauliflower, green peppers, onions, garlic, rasberries, blackberries, lettuce, celery. I have been eating lots of fish - baked chicken breast/tenderloin  and salad.  Romaine lettuce with lemon & olive oil - no store bought dressings.  Do you have a meter to measure your blood glocuse after a meal.  Best wishes, Julie

Your first step should be to attend a diabetes education class -- a free one if your doctor can recommend.  Gather some reading materials to learn what foods provide what level of carbs and refer to them often until you have developed a good system for yourself.

Remember that exercise and weight loss (if necessary) are equally important to a good food regimen for controlling diabetes.

each person is different as to how much they can handle

I eat under 100 gr of carbohydrate a day

the only way to tell what is rihjt for you is to get a BG meter and test.

count the carbs you are going to eat.. test before you eat and I test at 1 hour to see how much my BG goes up from that food.

I try to always stay under 140 (7.8)
