[QUOTE="perth, post: 711342, member: 148570"] Thanks guys for the info, Bluetit1802 can I ask how long it took you to drop to acceptable levels after diagnosis? It seems to take weeks, im recording everything in a spreadsheet and graphing it and I can see a slow downward trend. Does eating a high carb meal take weeks to recover from? I have yet to have any more than about 30-40g a day but I know the day will come where I have no choice. Also how important is exercise? I used to be a fitness freak in my 30's but stopped with work being busy and getting sciatica (which is now gone thankfully) - I'm 197cm tall and 160kg, I should be 100kg according to BMI but the lowest I ever got was 120kg and I was quite happy with that weight. I read somewhere that even 30 minutes a day will burn glucose via the muscles? I'm going to buy an exercise bike in the new year. Thanks again for listening to me :) There is just so much info to absorb and things I haven't tried yet. I saw my dad in hospital many times with problems with his feet and blood poisoning, eye problems etc, I can tell you I want to do everything I can to avoid that. [/QUOTE]
