[QUOTE="Denthezen, post: 688082, member: 132181"] I was diagnosed with hba1c of 7.9 was sent on a Desmond course told the right foods to eat and why including exercise i was never told to there is no need to cut out carbs but cut out obvious sugar products. I did eat as advised including carbs although limit them to smaller potions. three months later cholesterol halved and BG down to 6.0 I check maybe once a week before breakfast and after dinner BG rarely goes above 5.5. My understanding is that the pancaras does not produce enough insulin to convert sugar into energy. So surely the solution is to lose weight and put in less sugar that can be absorbed quickly into the blood stream eat slower digestive carbs such as whole meal and exercise to burn of excess sugar. I was only diagnosed end of june and considering the comments i read on here I seem to be getting an easy ride! I would love the doctor to tell me i don't have diabetes! And hopefully my disciplined diet will continue to work for me? I've been told I don't need to check BG although I do only for peace of mind, and go back for another HBA1c end of June next year [/QUOTE]
