I have been so good, strict low carb, sensible and rational, but when I have a small fail it makes me lose all sense of proportion and just binge for the rest of the day and feel rough. I am a full time reader of the forum but this is my first post. My SD Codefree monitor has rarely shown a 7 or below in two months, regardless of whether I have eaten well, and good results seem to be stabilising at 7 - 9, does it measure too high ? My immediate family are not very helpful and almost want to ignore the fact I am diabetic, in fact today my daughter tried to persuade me that a raw juicing diet with acres of roots, fruits and endless apples and carrots can cure diabetes. I have a high profile and stressful job, and am still very much working at 63. I am female and since diagnosis have lost around 2 stone. I am mostly below 35g carbs per day, but sometimes 50g, and I find I lose weight and feel good on that - the binging happens when I am travelling, which I do a great deal, or when I am slightly ridiculed by my family. I think I have always been seen as the strong one, and sometimes I think my daughter actively wants to ignore any weakness. I don't know if any of this makes sense, but I feel the need for some support.
