[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 2035919, member: 209498"] [USER=503757]@Adm_Mad[/USER] Many of us were terrified after googling the possible diabetic complications after first being told we were diabetic. I certainly was and it gave me the motivation to immediately cut down on sugar, carbs and alcohol as much as possible. I lost weight and reduced my HbA1c by my 3 month retest. After my next 12 month retest when I had got into the non-diabetic range (39) I did relax and started increasing my carb intake, though still a lot less than I used to consume. My weight and bg readings have since crept up, though both are still lower than when I was diagnosed. I would suggest you continue your low carbing at least until your retest in July. See what your HbA1c figure is like then before experimenting with adding carbs. Small amounts will not make much difference. You would have to try reasonable amounts of foods/drinks and test before eating, then two hours later to see how they have affected your bg. [/QUOTE]
