My GP and nurse seem to be be pretty good when it comes to backing up their concerns with practical help and guidance. However the guidelines from the NHS is to base your diet on half fruit and veg, as much as 30 - 35 % starchy carbs and small portions of protein and some dairy. That amount of starchy carb seems like it would spike my BG levels a lot. I've been calorie counting for a few months before being diagnosed, so hopefully I can switch over smoothly enough if I decide to go down that route.
I've had a browse at a few of the diabetes sites, but have yet to find one geared towards my kind of age bracket (27).
