I know that a lot prediabetics & diabetics count carbs but I personaly don't, I just know what foods are high GI and just don't have much of them and fill myself more with protein and other low gi foods... soft drinks, fruit juices etc, are full of sugar and will really spike your sugars, there is plenty of info on the net about what foods you can eat.

Its can be a bit over whelming when changing your diet at first but it doesn't take long to get used to it all, one thing that helped my post meal sugar levels was just a 15 minute walk after each meal.
Okay, Thanks- I will be getting prescription for meter soon, From what I hear strips are covered by insurance. Has anyone heard of burning symptoms spiking when you start to get glucose leves down or are my symptons just accelerating from initial onset?
