[QUOTE="Carpetsalesman, post: 2370344, member: 526513"] My scores are slightly higher than yours - 6months average FBG of 5.8 on low carb. My GP says I am definitively not diabetic. I saw an endo privately and was told that I am slightly outside normal, but that I’m not diabetic. I should carry on with a healthy diet and avoid processed food. The advice on low carb was do it if it makes you happy but don’t replace one problem with another. I would like to think that if I had your scores I would be totally relaxed, but you’re not [I]quite [/I]perfect and I know from experience that the difficulty of control is frustrating. I’m taking a break from testing and relaxing on the food a little bit, but I’m permanently giving up bread, pasta, pastry, cereal, rice potatoes, fruit, sweets. Except for situations where you just have no other choice like a party or whatever. There is so much contradictory information out there that you feel like you’re going mad, particularly around diagnosis. Remember that even on here these guys are driving scores down to perfect because if they don’t hold firm they’ll be up at 15 and going blind. Everyone is different but full blown t2s need to be militant about their control. Personally, I have accepted that I can’t get near 5.0 whatever I do - six months low carb didn’t shift the long term average. So I’m going to try and relax, avoid the real bad stuff and choose low GI healthy food. I’ll be back here and off my head again in three months. [/QUOTE]
