I wonder how other 'new' forum users rate this forum? My experience; 5 out of 5,:-
Diagnosed T2 sep13, then T1 /LADA /T1.5 in dec13. Not sure when I first started reading forum posts, but subscribed 1-Jan-14
Nearly everything I have learned about diabetes has originated from this forum.
When diagnosed the hospital diabetic clinic told me to have 1/3 of my plate full of (good) carbs and test my blood twice per day (before breakfast and before dinner). I soon learned, from this forum, to cut back further on carbs and to test after food, to establish how carbs affected my blood. My BG records show I started low carbing (cutting out bread, pasta, rice etc) mid January (2wks after joining the forum) and I started BG testing after food at the end of January.... Thus I started eating to my meter, one month after joining the forum. Best thing I ever did, my carb intake has gone down gradually ever since, until by july I was down to 36g of carbs per day, and that is where I still am today at 36g. My BG levels have gradually gone down and are currently at their lowest levels ever.
