[QUOTE="Bikester, post: 2642221, member: 580125"] I had exactly the same HbA1c as you (36). I was very pleased with the result as I am not using pump. My diet consists of youghurt, rye bread, cheese, olive oil and mainly vegetarian dishes. Also a bar of chocolate now and then, especially during long biking trips. I do avoid dishes which raise blood sugar rapidly. Such as buns, cakes and basically all treats made mainly of wheat. Never spaghetti or pizza for me. I consume protein rich food only restricted amounts as it is hardfor me to figure out the time when they start to raise BG. Now the surprising and sad part of my story.... Last visit to doctor was very stressing and infuriating for me. Nothing that I do is enough for her, despite that all blood test results were in the normal range (scale for healthy people). The insulin type is wrong(according to her) and I do not use cholesterol lowering medication due to side effect of causing insulin resistance and worse BG control. I shall change the doctor. After three annual reviews we have every time the same discussions and disapprocal attitude to my choices. Please, tell how your doctor reacts to your choices regarding diet and medication. Do you feel empowered or run down after the visit? [/QUOTE]
