Have you got yourself a blood glucose monitor? This will allow you to see what foods your body can tolerate without making your BG go high.If you don’t have a BG monitor the most recommended on this forum are the Sprit Healthcare Tee2 and the GlucoNavii.For testing you will need to test before you eat and 2 hours after.
