[QUOTE="pavlosn, post: 685351, member: 22572"] Hi [USER=138399]@PSS[/USER] Sounds like a good plan. I agree that testing and adjusting gradually is the way to go. My only comment is that since you have a tendency towards anxiety you need to be a bit careful not to let your meter became your master, A glucose meter is a very useful tool but nothing more than a tool. If you find that you get readings that are not as you hoped for, that just tells you that you need to make further changes to your diet. A meter reading that is too high is not some kind of failed test. Seen in this way a wrong reading is just as useful as a right reading; they are both feedback. Also be prepared to see fluctuations in your readings rather than a continuous improving trend. Finally trends in readings are much more important than individual readings in interpreting progress. Good luck with your efforts. I have full confidence in you.
