Well, you're T2, as I, and I acknowledge that I need to think of Plateaues. Meaning, that once I have achieved a sustainable and maintaining Plateau for a L -O - N - G period, I can then build on that achievement. But, to do this is really hard and disillusioning in the extreme. For me getting down from an 18 when I first started was a grind and had no idea just what I was doing, but fairly quickly I was able to achieve a 50% drop in my HBA1C in three months. Yippee! But in a sense that was always going to mislead me . . . Doing the same attack on my Meds and Foods is fraught with hiccups and, as yesterday showed me a Spike of 12.7, yes, sure this was battered down to a six in short order, and here I stand . . . . So, for me, its about sustainable long plateaus of achievement, and yes, Christmas hasn't helped. But in another sense, it has re-re-reinforced my understanding of myself and the Monster that is T2.
@Welshman1952 I hope this has helped.
