[QUOTE="Colin of Kent, post: 1741799, member: 468270"] Thanks everyone. I started down this road back in about October or November last year, when I made a more concerted effort on carb counting. That got my HbA1c down to 57, the best it's ever been, but still above recommended and nondiabetic levels. So then I came on here, and read a few things, including success stories, and bought 'Dr Bernstein's Diabetes Solution'. That was a real eye-opener. It took me a few weeks to get used to the idea of never having another cake, but once I'd got my head around that, I read some more, including Kieth Runyan and Ellen Davis' book, 'Ketogenic Diet for Type 1 Diabetes', and Gary Scheiner's 'Think Like a Pancreas'. I think, if Bernstein can reverse his complications, then so can I. He was about my age when he started educating himself, it seems, and his complications were far worse. Also, I totally agree that one can't put a price on one's health. I don't like the idea of scrimping in the short-term, as it's only a false economy in a sense. I just need to find different ways of doing it, that's all. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
