[QUOTE="Daffodils1, post: 1008289, member: 152691"] Hi, very interesting to read your experiences. I've lost three and half stone, numbers Ok, but like above posters, would love to get consistent morning 5s. Three months after diagnosis I got them down for a while, then they went up a bit, now coming down but still getting 6s some mornings. Have had very stressful two months, and notice now with work related stressful situation resolving to some extent, numbers are correspondingly better. Bit of a random thought - in the way we can make our bodies stop loosing weight so well if we don't eat enough, as body goes into starvation mode and eaks out the calories we give it, is there any similar sort of process if we don't eat enough carbs, that could affect our bs levels. I read something about physiological insulin resistance, which linked very low carb diet to causing bs levels to go up, but don't quite understand it. What I have done recently is eat just a bit more low carb veg, to get more vitamins and minerals into my diet, so it could be that which is helping bs go down a bit, not the reduction in stress.
