I remember when I got the news.
I was told to go on the NHS web site for a diet plan and it wasn't good for a diabetic.
I ask my GP about testing and she said she didn't want me getting to obsessed with the numbers. But gave me ketones strips, and I had to record there results every day.
So anyway by this point I had done my research and found out about low carb and testing.
Testing was great and allowed me to make a note of when I can and cant eat, in terms of my BG levels.
It is also interesting as I lost more weight, I found I was able to add some carbs that had no effect of my BG levels. Not a lot mind you. But it nice for a big of balance and great for my weight training.
