[QUOTE="Red_river_, post: 1619584, member: 448756"] You have nothing to apologise for. I find you very friendly and helpful. I can see you've been doing really well to bring down bg level. Great job! I don't understand though how can you be overweight if your BMI is only 21 sth? I am a bit like you though, love all kind of carb ( rice, pasta, bread, potato), low fat, big on fruits and vegs, skinny frame, BMI 22, so losing weigh is not sth I wish for at all. I saw a GP this morning, and he advised me to not make any dramatic changes, stick to my healthy diet, just look at the plate of food and think about what I can do to improve it. And what else? A lot of people are not gonna like this :" Don't read too much online. Forget about that ( this) website. Follow the diabetic nurse advices". Well, at least now I feel kinda relieved, that I don't need to carb count, just need to be sensible with what I eat. No need to test!! Hurray..!!! ( because the bg goes up and down all the time anyway- he said). He said what is more important is the HbA1c level that will be tested after a couple of months and tat will show I feel I am going the right way. [/QUOTE]
