[QUOTE="Ricky, post: 408515, member: 27137"] People are used to me now . They know I won't touch sugar or any carbs when I am anywhere. I am very strong willed and my incentive is that I want to stay off meds for as long as possible. I have managed for 6 or 7 years now and basically the only time my fasting BS goes over 6 is when I am ill or as recently had dental treatment after a bout of toothache. It took a good fortnight to go back down. My aim is to be < 5.5 but I don't always make it. It was 5.7 this morning. I can't say I ever have Hb1AC these days as my doctors surgery seems to have forgotten me. This suits me fine as I am still getting a monthly prescription for test strips which I am sure these days I would have taken off me if they were to realise!!!! I love fruit and that is where my carbs come from but only together with a meal not on its own. I also eat the odd slice of burgen bread and have homemade muesli for breakfast- oats, rye, barley +nuts, seeds, goji berries, raw cocoa nibs, wheatgerm. [/QUOTE]
