[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1591941, member: 345386"] Guzzler, it strikes me your approach to adjustment is applying the SMART acronym to your goals? For those who may be unfamiliar with the acronym, I tend to interpret it along these lines: S - specific, significant, stretching M - measurable, meaningful, motivational A - agreed upon, attainable, achievable, acceptable, action-oriented R - realistic, relevant, reasonable, rewarding, results-oriented T - time-based, time-bound, timely, tangible, trackable The source of those specific words is: [URL]https://www.projectsmart.co.uk/smart-goals.php[/URL] Whether any given goal is actually achievable for any given individual is very personal, and of course when it comes to diabetes, not all factors are necessarily under our control (beta cell function, co-morbidities, just as examples). There's little point in my committing to a goal achieving a height of 5' 10" with a pneumatic bosom, without surgical intervention, when I am a rather flat chested, mature, adult of 5' 3". Like the rest of us Guzzler. The best you can do is give whatever goal you set your best shot, then adjust where necessary (whether the goal or your approach to it), along the way. With your commitment to the ND, nobody could fault your efforts, so please don't beat yourself up if your body refuses to comply with your idea. (Not sure if that helps you Guzzler, I am being supportive.) [/QUOTE]
