[QUOTE="Finzi, post: 381171, member: 56231"] Andy, probably even your 9.6 just after the cake is pretty ok - my husband, who is definitely not diabetic, had a 9.7 about half an hour after eating four chocolates when he tested for fun one time. But I don't think it means your diagnosis was a mistake. IIRC you had some pretty horrendous figures at the beginning. But I think what has probably happened is that by low carbing and losing weight you have improved your insulin resistance and allowed your pancreas to recover, but if you started going back to eating as you were, your problems would start again. I have very similar experiences - I can eat Chinese quite well *if I'm careful what I have*. And I also had very little reaction to a piece of chocolate cake on my husbands birthday (I didn't test after 30 minutes like you, but it was fine after an hour and two hours). My figures aren't quite as low as yours but I think that's probably because I can't exercise as much. But I'm usually early fives before a meal, and late fives after a meal, and I'm happy with that. I probably am a bit less strict than I was in the beginning, and that has made day to day life a bit easier. But I still would never eat bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, sweets or chocolate. Except chocolate profiteroles. I seem to be able to get away with them amazingly well, and I think it's probably because they have got lots of cream in them. Type 2 on Metformin, diagnosed Jan 2013, ultra low carber, Hba1C at diagnosis 8% (11mmol), now between 5 and 6 mmol. 20kg lost so far :) [/QUOTE]
