[QUOTE="anniep, post: 176313, member: 27533"] [b]Re: Diagnosed "Borderline" Type 2, and now.. er.. just "Type[/b] Paul Te thing about this diabetes, is that it is as different as each of us is, so there is no one size fits all answer. And we all are different in how we deal with the testing buisness. It seems complicated to begin with, but once you 'get it' you will be fine. I spent a lot of time in the begining testing and finding out what suits my body. For example I can't touch wheat based things at all but can get away with a small amount of potato and I can't eat oats. How I dealwith it as a metformin user and not at risk when driving etc is - I now test if I am changing someting in my life eg new exercise (ha ha....) new food, if I am sick, otherwise I do random tests in the week to keep a check on things. On morning, one night, one afternoon etc. If I never test I can easily fool myself into letting things slip. Otherwise I avoid the obvious things, cake, sweets etc and I don't eat any of the starchy carbs no bread/potaotes/rice/pasta. I can't eat fruit at all, it either spikes my BG or give me the runs. But I don't count carbs so I can't tell you whether I low carb or reduce carb, I am a vegetarian which makes low carbing difficult. But fortunately veggies don't affect my bg hugely, though I don't eat many carrots. But I have found out that I can eat a reasonable amount of peas and sweetcorn, though others here will tell you that htey can't eat them at all. This is our individual bodies and unless youtest you will never know which are your 'can eats' and which are your 'must avoids' [/QUOTE]
