[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1613587, member: 410240"] [USER=433595]@Maradona[/USER] Sorry to be negitive, but "just" eating to your meter is not enough, as it only shows you have limited your carbs to what you body can cope with [B]today[/B] without you BG being out of control. The carbs will still damamge your body and you have no way to measure that damage until it is too late. Insulin Resistance will keep building up unless you get ahead of your diabetes, you are in danger of always paying “catch up”. The best way to stop Insulin Resistance getting worse is to allow the level of insulin in your blood to drop to a very low level between meals, hence avoiding snacks that contain carbs. 8.0 is not good after meals and you should hardly ever get levels that high. It better to aim for less than 6 two hours after most meals. The larger has the risk of adding fat to your liver that in the long term will result in more Insulin Resistance, so should not be repeated often. What you choose to eat now, will have a great effect on your life in 10 years time, maybe even 5 years time. You may be only marginally diabetic at present, but without [B]radical [/B]action, type2 always gets worse with age. Lots of people on this forum can never eat chips etc, the chooses you make today will effect what you can eat in a few years time. [B]Is a biscuit between meals today worth the price of not being able to have chips when you go out of a meal in a few years time……………..[/B] [/QUOTE]
