[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 1354591, member: 40343"] So most guidelines around the world say you should try to be around 100 (5.5mmol) pre-meal and 140 (7.8mmol) or below 2 hours after eating. Your readings are worse than that but they're nowhere near "uncontrolled". Most T2's find cutting out sugar and cutting down on starchy foods (rice, pasta, bread, potatoes, cereals and anything made with flour) will help their blood sugars regardless of their current weight. If you want to try to fully reverse T2 then you'll need to lose the weight as in T2 it's the extra weight that stops the insulin your pancreas produces from working properly. If you lose the weight your insulin works again and your diabetes goes away, or that's the theory. [/QUOTE]
