I'll be honest, I didn't find the dietician's advice all that helpful, as they were quite high-carb, and my blood sugars would never respond positively to the # they told me to eat (3-4 servings (15 gm/serving) of carbs per meal, and 1-2 servings per snack.

I eat a lot of the same foods over and over: Chicken, fish, beef, pork (all unbreaded and most of the time w/o a bun). When I crave bread, I eat the Nature's own double fiber.

I eat lots of salads, green veggies and beans. I rarely have corn, potatoes, white rice, past or green peas....as i've found these raise my blood sugars. When I eat pasta, I eat the Dreamfield's brand....I eat brown rice in VERY SMALL amounts.

For sweets, i'll have s/f jello, s/f puddings and Breyer's Carb Smart ice cream...on occasion, i'll have a regular scoop of icecream (along with a bit more exercise).

I drink tea with artificial sweetener, diet Dr. Pepper, Diet Mtn Dew and the s/f water add-ins.

I use the low-carb tortillas and make fajitas...I also make my own chips with the low-carb tortillas.

I can tolerate small apples, 1/2 banana, cantaloupe, all kinds of berries...but I only eat one serving of fruit at a time, and not each day.

There are many things you can eat, but the way to find out what works for you is to eat then test 2 hrs after the first bite to find out which foods you tolerate best. All of us are different, so if you "eat by your meter" you'll do well.
