Its been a meek since I have been diagnosed. Everything is still a mystery to me. My HBa1c leves were 11.4 and I have been testing my bg levels before and after meals. Can someone clarify these issues to me -
1- When are the best readings 1 or 2 hours after meals
2- As my BG levels were reaaly high last week ( around 15 and above) this week they have reduced from 6.5 - 8.5. Are these ranges acceptable? I have cut all the carbs this week and I have found out that it reduces my BG levels.
3 - I was told to go on the medication (metromofin) but I persuaded the health proffessional that I would like to try diet and exersice. (Has any one read the online book DEATH TO DIABETES - the writer states that it is possible to this). Please let me know.
Is it possible for someone with a diagnosis as mine to go on for years reducing the BG levels with diet and exercice. I need to hear from people who have achieved this for years (without meds) and also if there have been any problems on the way
