[QUOTE="eastcoastphil, post: 577466, member: 108325"] My view - the HBA1C is my most important measure and that will demonstrate if my new regime is working as I want. If I can get it consistently down into an acceptable range then, and only then, may I consider reintrodicing the occasional treat, but I expect by that time to have lost any craving for them as its already happening. I have no meter because I am working on a longer term plan, so I have enough to concentrate on (after recent diagnosis) than daily spikes. In all likelihood I have been diabetic for years, so have had many spikes in the past without knowing, but the aim now is healthy living and following the excellent 'Desmond' course advice. My overall hope is that I never have to worry about a meter but I know that makes me odd in many people's eyes. Do whatever is right for you Jim, but don't get fixated on what the meter says.....
