[QUOTE="woodywhippet61, post: 1613518, member: 418778"] I agree with Pinkorchid until her last sentence. Testing saved my sanity. So I'd start today, in fact now. Once I started to SEE what my blood glucose levels were and how the foods that I ate affected them my stress levels dropped. I had started to get control back over my life. I started to understand my body. I had, oh I can eat that, moments and I had, I'm never eating that again, moments. But I wasn't trying to take in 101 things other people were telling me to do. I was sorting it out for myself. In the early days I ate simple meals as in meat and veg or fish and salad. I made sure that I didn't drink anything with sugar in it. I told myself that it was just an experiment and if it didn't work I'd rethink at that point. I lived for the moment and on a daily basis hoping that I could keep going for 3 months (that was the time that I set myself). After all what's 3 months of not eating pizza, or pasta etc. Really it's nothing in a lifetime. [/QUOTE]
