[QUOTE="spinningwoman, post: 110003, member: 19482"] Cugila, I wonder if you have got me mixed up with someone else? Or is it just the croissant thread and the potato thread coming so close together? I posted about those things precisely because I would not normally eat them and certainly don't advocate them. Unfortunately I have a job where I am frequently expected to eat food that other people, who don't know me, have prepared, and so it is important to me to know which foods I can occasionally take a risk on and which I can't, and what the result is likely to be if I end up eating something I shouldn't. Sometimes it seems to me that 'public food' in the country is subject to some kind of legislation which requires it to be at least 90% starch! I only posted on this 'croissant' thing because I was surprised to see that Hanadr had been able to eat one unscathed and wondered if it was the exercise which made the difference. And the potatoes, if you read the thread, was exactly about removing the starch - eating potato normally sends my numbers up, as I made clear. I do appreciate that you wouldn't want to be encouraging anyone to stay away from their doctor, but that is up to me for now - I'm not even registered with a doctor yet, having just moved house. (Which as I think I explained back in that original thread was one of the reasons it didn't seem worth tussling with the unsympathetic doctor my husband saw.) When I do, I will talk to them and see what they think. I can't see any great urgency - I know my numbers are in the safe zone and I have had an HbA1C of 5.7. (Which I I did privately and was given the results of - my husband was just told by the doctor that his was 'borderline' and they wouldn't tell him the numbers at all - so not much advantage there, that I can see). I'm not sure why this bothers you, since you agree that my numbers are normal and think I'm probably not diabetic. I have probably been posting too much recently, because my husband won't talk about it, so I'll back off a bit. [/QUOTE]
