Message: <blockquote data-quote="claridge" data-source="post: 93768" data-attributes="member: 15821">Hiya,I was diagnosed in Feb with BS level at 30. I have been doing the low carbing, no sugar thing- make almost all my own food to be carefull. Try to exercise at least a couple of times a week... thats along with walking 45 minutes a day. Just had my HBA1C and it was 5.6%- l have 5 units of Levemir once a day and never take any novorapid... only when l have overendulged or eaten drunk something l shouldnt have... and if lm near stairs then l climb instead <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Im in a similar quandry as you... can we keep this up indefinitely... or should l say can our bodies. My parents met a man down the pub whose wife was diagnosed with type 1 and through diet (low carbing no sugar etc) has reversed it and doesnt need to inject. Sounds like her hubbie has been really strict along with her ha and he checks her blood sugar once a week to make sure it is okay.My personal trainer who has done numerous food, exercise, mind training believes that if l continue with my eating regime, exercise and cut out alcohol then l will be able to reverse it too.I believe there is no definites and all we can do istry our best! And l feel sooo much better for it!!!! And lm not just talking about the low blood sugar... mentally as well. I now go out and dont drink ha imagine that! But it did not suit me at all when l was drinking and l feel l have wasted many years (well maybe thats a bit strong...) but now l have my evenings (and actually remember them!)... and all day!!! I love getting up on weekends and doing outdoors exercise, doing cultural things etc.. and not having a hangover is amazing! Onwards and upwards l say!! PS- in the middle of studying for an exam and doing loads of assessments.. in between work... and l still somehow find the time to be this positive ha! Just went for a run... maybe thats why! xxx</blockquote>
