I opt for the moderate carbs scenario. Don't eat the biggies like rice, spuds etc but do have lots of vegetables and the odd serving of pulses. I find my BG levels and weight loss on this regime both good. I 'd like to get the fasting one lower but it seems the one most affected by things out of my control as I have said before. I hope losing more weight will help bring it down some more( it is lowering slowly) but I am not going to fret if it is higher than my other levels long term. At the end of the day, I have to accept that I am a diabetic and that not everything is going to fall into the non-diabetic ranges. I can help my pancreas out and preserve its remaining function by lowering weight and reducing insulin resistance with metformin, diet and exercise but I do wonder if my higher fasting levels are just a reflection of the pre-diagnosis loss of function, allegedly 50% according to the Desmond course.
