[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2180158, member: 511345"] When I first started I test to an excess level- partly to 'prove' to my husband that the LCHF diet was the way to go and partly to give myself encouragement that what I was doing was working. I now regularly eat less than 20 grams a day of carbs and usually less than 10 grams. I still try to test a few times a day- It certainly shows that stress is not good for the body and also shows the effect illness has on our body. I test now when I try something new- I never really trust any sort of diet drink or jelly or anything really until I have tested I also test to make sure I don't get too relaxed. If my HbA1C went up I would certainly start testing more frequently again. In Australia there was government campaign about terrorism- be alert but not alarmed- I guess that's what I'm aiming for. I'm so new in- less than 6 months but the advice here helped me bring my HbA1c down to normal levels- I can't take that for granted. I was interested in the difference with those that tested themselves and someone without diabetes. I guess that it is a stark reminder that the reality is you can control the disease but if you stop controlling it you will end up where you started. [/QUOTE]
