[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 711929, member: 101136"] Personally. the idea that the "injections" or the "pills" as a solution to the problem is totally the wrong mindset.. As good as these medications are, they cant keep up with the carb intake that polite society dictates no matter how tight you might bolus for it. We are all different metabolisms too..Some foods spike & drop off before the insulin does. & visa versa. Then there is trouble... Its a personal balancing act keeping the BS levels within healthy parameters.. I was actually shocked at what they were feeding my elderly T2 dad during his brief stays in hospital.. His sugar levels were in the teens which the "professionals" thought OK.. Even my own D team think my current HbA1c at 6.5 is too low. What chance has the man on the street got getting a grip on the reality of it... Until they find an outright cure.. Keep the carb count down. i'd rather they think i have an "eating disorder" Weight watcher thing going on with my T1 control & back off the advice than them blunder in with "diabetic wisdom".... ;) [/QUOTE]
