Diabetes and mental health

[Dimity]

I'm trying to change to brown rice and wholemeal pasta @Shaz51 but I miss fresh pasta. I was told Basmati rice has a lower GI than other white rice so I might be able to have it sometimes. 

[Shaz51]

Basmati rice is good , suppose yo keep you full for longer 

You are allowed to  have pasta but to have small amounts and to include vegetables 

Brown rice and wholemeal pasta takes longer to cook

Thanks for the tag @Shaz51 and Hello people

Hello also to @SmilingGecko @Judi9877 @TAB 

I'm struggling a bit with my eating plan atm, 

I'm not used to snacking every 2 hrs

[SmilingGecko]

Yes its a bother @Dimity I just have smaller portions every 2 hours - it seems to work!

@SmilingGecko , @Dimity 

Finding it hard -- sometimes when I have done well,  my sugar goes high 

And then the oppersite happens 

[Dimity]

It wouldn't be easy @Shaz51. I'm relieved my bloods were just prediabetic so I've not had to start testing myself. I'm trying to follow guidelines though, so I'll try prepping portion sizes for the day ahead... following up your  tip @SmilingGecko! I check in again with the dietician and the Diabetes Vic Life! coach next week.

[Shaz51]

Smaller portions do help @Dimity , @SmilingGecko 

@Dimity , I have a Injections once a week  and tablets daily 

[Dimity]

Glad you're not needing several injections a day @Shaz51, I think my nephew did but he's probably on a pump now

Hello @SmilingGecko  and @Judi9877 , how are you going with your diabetes 

My night time seems to be the worse
