How long have you been living with diabetes?
Sorry to hear you are finding it difficult to find food choices that suit you and your diabetes. One of the biggest questions when trying to get to grips with your diabetes is often ‘what can I eat’ and while there are obvious things like cakes, biscuits, sweets and sugary drinks that you will want to cut out straight away, you might be surprised how much *all* carbohydrate affects your BG levels, including rice, pasta, potatoes, bread, pastry, grains, cereals and many fruits. That's not to say that you have to try to avoid those things entirely, but being mindful of portion sizes can be very helpful.
