[QUOTE="Neohdiver, post: 1244931, member: 258692"] Diet is essential - and exercise is certainly very helpful and best practice, but it is not necessarily essential. If you only have the time/energy/mental bandwidth to focus on one, focus on what you eat. I have not done any significant exercise since diagnosis, and my BG has been within the normal (not diabetic-normal, non-diabetic normal - in 11 months, I can still probably count on 2 hands the number of times I've been over 7,8 since 3 days after diagnosis. (Without looking back at my log, I can't be absolutely certain, but I'm very close to a dozen total out of the norm readings.) I test any unfamiliar food at 1 hour post eating, 2 hours post eating and - often - 3 hours post eating, so I'm not just ignoring the spikes to claim that kind of control.. [/QUOTE]
