[QUOTE="Defren, post: 316681, member: 41817"] BigBenn; Your posts are like someone hitting the replay button on a CD, simply repetitive. This forum is built on opinions, some we like and agree with, others we don't, it is what it is. Like Borofergie has said, with an HbA1c of 6.1 your average readings are in the 7's. In this country, people are diagnosed as diabetic with a 7.0 or above, I should know I was one of them, my first HbA1c was 7 on the nose. I am diabetic. I know exactly what is safe for me to eat, I know what exercise I need and I work within those parameters. My BG never goes above 6. That doesn't mean I am not diabetic, I learned a valuable lesson in August when I was on holiday. There was a special occasion and all kinds of home made as well as shop bought goodies were available. I adore banana's but I have not touched a single one since diagnosis, but there was a banana loaf at this party. I helped myself to two rather generous slices. My BG shot up to 9 and it stayed there. I walked, I drank water, but it came down in it's own sweet (pun not intended) time. Lesson learned. I will try anything safe to keep tight control of my BG. I have done 8 week liquid diets and usually I fast two days a week, not this week as I am a bit under the weather, but this will be the first week I have missed in 6 weeks, having done five weeks of two day fasting. It is because I will try things, because I eat to my meter, and I work hard to maintain a low BG I am where I am. Like I have said to you before, there is no way I would touch your diet, nor would I want your HbA1c.
