[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 38938, member: 1338"] Hi Doczoc, That is a fantastic reduction is just one week. Just goes to show what is achievable with determination and effort. We all go through spells when diabetes gets us down. You are only very recently diagnosed and are still having to come to terms with what is a life-changing thing, so its understandable that you should feel miserable. But rather than feeling sorry for yourself you should be feeling enormously proud of the huge improvement in youg BG in just a week. Remember why it is that we keep control of our BG - its because control reduces (and can sometimes eliminate) the risk of complications. As long as you are able to keep a lid on those BG levels then your body won't break down at 45, or 55, or 65. Yes, you will keep seeing references to diabetes being progressive, and unfortunately the dietary advice given out by many healthcare professionals, and to their shame endorsed by DUK, will ensure that for those diabetics who follow that advice, progression will be inevitable. You have already seen for yourself what you can achieve. If you are able to maintain that control then you can avoid that progression and you will be protecting your sight, and your limbs. If you keep up the diet then you will lose weight, will feel much fitter, will reduce your cholesterol and will also improve the health of your liver. As Hana has often reminded us, how do they make pate de foi gras? - they force feed geese on an extremely high carbohydrate diet until their livers almost explode. High carb = high liver fat. So far you are doing fantastically - and I bet it hasn't hurt a bit! So will it be that hard to continue doing it if the end result is feeling fitter and living longer? [/QUOTE]
