[QUOTE="bonnynemia, post: 392853, member: 40096"] johnlfitz, I wish to make it very clear that I am not an expert on anything. I am just a plain type 2 diabetic. Early next month, it will be exactly my 22nd year as a type 2 exercising 4x/day, 30 minutes before each meal and before bedtime, and eating real foods (mostly carbohydrates) 3x/day (strictly no snacks, only water between meals). Not once have I tried any anti-diabetic pills or insulin. Because my diagnosis fasting blood sugar was very very high - 468 mg/dl - I was required in July 1991 to be on several anti-diabetes pills. I refused to take them. Yes, I have been getting unacceptably high blood sugar levels 4x/day (fasting and 2-hour after-meal) which now total to more than 32000 (4 x 365 days x 22 years) since July 1991. Why don't I have any diabetes complications yet? I don't know. Your guess is as good as mine. What really is important to me is that I am healthy, strong, happy, feeling young, and living like I have no diabetes. I am very sure that I will always be diabetic. Why do I eat a lot of carbohydrates? Because to me they are nutritious, delicious, inexpensive, readily available, and the easiest foods to digest (my digestive system does not get to work harder than it should). On the subject of test strips, I always buy the 100-strip package. They last me 1 year. I test only to find out if my daily exercise is still as effective as I expect it to be. I already know the bad effects of my high-carb meals on my blood sugar. Bonny Damocles Male, 77 1/2 years old, 139 lbs., 5'7" Past A1c's: 5.2% - 6.3% (5.8% on 6March2013) [/QUOTE]
