[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2410419, member: 355878"] I have had 4 years of normal readings, so it might be too soon for some, but there is hope of a sort. Some days at home I can eat a tomato, two sticks of celery, cheese and meat - I always had a very low appetite and need for food, so my history is not exactly ordinary. After a year or so from diagnosis I could eat two Christmas dinners on consecutive days and have my own Yorkshire puddings made with cream, eggs, bread flour and water - plus meat and veges including a couple of roast potatoes, and see 6.5 mmol/l both days. Now I could eat a 'normal' high carb meal and it would only mean a week of trying to lose the weight to survive it unaltered. I am not at all certain that I am typical of those in remission, and I would not advise anyone who had not been seeing normal numbers for some time to try it, but there is at least the possibility of eating more carbs once in a while, but I'd not advise a huge and sudden carb fest - check your reactions at intervals just in case it results in dreadful indigestion, or falling asleep or any other of the various reactions. I think my readings after eating carbs are normal-ish, but I do not have any graphs of blood glucose, just a few tests and how I felt at the time. [/QUOTE]
