[QUOTE="Ricky, post: 927965, member: 27137"] Nice to know that my sleep pattern may not be doing me any harm. I do not have excessive sleepiness and even do 1 or 2 cardio classes most days!! Yes the only carb meal I have is at breakfast but since my bs before lunch today was 5.3 about 4 hours after my breakfast I reckon that is OK. Lunch I have 1/2 a Lidl high protein roll (8.7g carb in 100g and 27g protein) with fish or cheese + a small avocado and often a mixed salad. Dinner can be just homemade soup (veg with lentils) or eggs/fish/meat with veg. I only eat fruit with a meal and try to keep it to 1 piece. I snack on nuts and peanut butter. I also bake high protein flapjacks (oats mixed with low carb protein shake and peanut butter) I make chocolates with cocoa and coconut oil + xylitol and flavourings like ginger, chilli etc!! Yes will wait until I get a HbA1c - I phone the receptionist and ask for form to get one- I don't go near a doctor because I don't want them to realise that I am still getting bs testing strips on a a repeat prescription for the last 10 years given to me by a doctor who has since died!! 10 years ago my HbA1c was 6.8 and I have got it down with my diet and exercise. I know I am still diabetic because if I get ill with a cold my bs goes up and there is nothing I can do about it until the illness has gone!! It runs all through my father's family and now my sister has it but she caught it later than me and my diet didn't work on her in 3 months so she has now been put on Metformin. Sometimes I wonder if I would lose the weight I have put on in the last few years if I was on Metformin!! I really don't miss sugar or carbs - I have just got used to not having them. [/QUOTE]
