Hi Douglas

Now that you've got your book, a little more reading for you. Have a
look at http://www.alt-support-diabetes.org/NewlyDiagnosed.htm . If you
follow that advice it will assist you to understand exactly what the
foods you eat do to your BG readings.

Which group are you reading on?


Cheers, Alan, T2 d&e, Australia.
