[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1863434, member: 429870"] If I have understood correctly, your blood sugars are higher than they should be except when you are in the middle of a bout of prolonged, strenuous exercise. You are currently taking no meds.You have cut all sugars from your diet. This suggests to me that you have not also cut carbs? I am convinced by Dr Bernstein's argument that what matters is to attain "normal" blood sugars, by whatever means are necessary. In your position I would not wait for my next doctor's appointment, but try cutting carbs now. If my blood sugars were still too high, I would discuss taking Metformin plus insulin with my doctors. Don't be too critical of the fact they have trouble categorising your diabetes. This is a very hard call, and there are currently research papers claiming that there are actually 5 or more types, or even that there are no types, only individuals. Satisfying as it always is to get a firm diagnosis, IMO finding how to manage your condition is key, and as you have learned, to a great extent the person best qualified to discover that is you. Congratulations on your new vigorous exercising life. You have joined quite a number of people on this Forum whose diabetes, and their reaction to it, has improved their lives rather than blighted them. [/QUOTE]
