BG 15.4 before meal, BG 2 hours post 14.9.
I would just like to point out, that although my levels are high compared to the majority of members, there has been a huge reduction in my levels since I first posted. My BG was approx. 29. My weight loss has been low, 1 stone 15lb since I last visited the diabetic nurse in December, how much Ihave lost since low-carbing I am not sure but there has been some lost. But that does not mean that I am not taking it seriously and am cheating. I am not, there would be no point in kidding myself. I have nothing to gain by doing so. My eyesight has gradually got worse over the last 3 weeks, and even though I have visited the optician and had a new perscription, my eyesight has since been worse (less than a week) since I received my check up and new glasses. I am having trouble seeing anything without them.
Everybody is not the same, I have lived with diabetes for a number of years now but never taken it seriously enough. I think I have taken major steps with my diet and nobody will tell me otherwise. Yes, maybe a bigger reduction would be better, but considering I am eating less than 60g of carbs and 1200 calories a day this is a significent change for me. Before I found this forum (or should I say, first posted) I was eating a hell of of a lot of carbs and calories. I don't know what my BG readings were before I became ill and therefore low carbing because I just was not interested, so I have no idea how long they were so high.
I would ask that you consider these facts first, if judging me. Every step I make now is a positive one and I have no intention of not following this through. Small steps make a lasting change.
