Message: <blockquote data-quote="Caezzybe" data-source="post: 141088" data-attributes="member: 27362">Just a quick update, I saw the consultant yesterday who said I was doing fine on diet (all my bloods have been 4 point something or 5 point something over the weekend) and to keep up the good work, no mention of insulin at all!  I'm so glad I just didn't sit back and do as I was told now, especially as I found it so suspicious in the first place that the diabetic nurse only gave me 2 days to try diet control before getting the insulin pen out.I've upped my exercise to 50-60 min per day and cut out carbs at breakfast to avoid a blood sugar spike (the consultant was OK with this), having some carbs at lunch and evening meal.I've found out I can't eat any sort of bread or porridge without my sugar being 8-9 after meals, so I just avoid them in favour of potatoes (about 200g max per meal).Happy is not the word for it at the moment, I think some medical professionals are too quick to reach for the most extreme option!</blockquote>
