welcome Red

at least you're willing to try your best and that's all we can do. Everyone is so different in managing their condition. I love strawberries! I'm not a big fruit eater at all though.... in fact these days I only have half a glass of fruit juice with breakfast. But occasionally during the day I opt for an apple or something as a snack. I eat carbs, but I tend to stick to low GI grain carbs mostly or dairy carbs. So I usually start my day with some porridge. I have a small amount of either pasta or basmati rice with the rest of my main meals. Snacks I stick to greek yoghurt, cheese & crackers, nuts, or sometimes a home baked product I've made (I'm the baker in the family). I use soy & linseed bread usually (I don't eat bread that often though), sometimes I try other grain breads.... but I refuse to touch white or brown breads. I also don't fair too well on vegetable carbs... so I don't eat potato, corn, pumpkin, carrot, etc... very often and if I do I will make sure I've got a low GI option on my plate now to ward off the hypo (when I'm smart enough to remember. lol). I love my vegetables too... my favourite is broccoli. If I eat out I always insist on steamed vegetables which here is mainly your broccoli, cauliflower, squash, zucchini, and beans or snow peas, and sometimes carrot. I used to eat a lot of salad for lunch and dinner... I think it was coming out of my ears! I love tuna and salmon and have that probably 2-3 times every week or more. I eat red meat probably 2-3 weekly too. That's just giving you an idea. We're all different with what we eat really. I'm sure you will find this a great place for support and info. Keep us posted on how you're doing.
