I eat good fats and have some form of protein with each meal. I am reading about doing low carb but not being able to eat fruit, tomatoes, balsamic vinegar or any starchy food puts me off - I don't eat meat so my diet would be very limited, mostly green veg and a small bit of protein which puts me off. I have not finished reading yet, I am interested in this low carb because you don't get hypo's or if you are low you don't get the severe symptoms which really appeals to me so I may change my mind. I have had diabetes for nearly 30 years and my health so far is good. I was prescribed a statin drug years ago after the breakdown of a very bad relationship, my cholesterol went up to 6 but after 6 months came down to 5.something, they still prescribed a statin drug 10mg but I reduced it to 5mg and that is all I take other than insulin and vitamins and I don't take it everyday, I miss the odd day because I don't believe I need it really. Everything else is good and I have spikes but I do test often and if it is high, I bring it down with insulin. I also gets lots of exercise and drink lots of water which I believe helps to avoid complications. Low carbing will help to keep a tighter range that is true.</p></blockquote><p></p>
