[QUOTE="Toby789, post: 2295943, member: 519716"] Keep a log. I cannot emphasise how important this is. Record your numbers every time you test manually somewhere. I know that most testing devices let you simply download (great for your doctor to scan quickly), but the very act of recording manually makes you think about food in a different way and will introduce the necessary discipline to get every down. Same with a food diary. Remember, alas, that food is no longer your friend and it is more a duty (to keep your BGLs from getting too low or too high). It sounds harsh but the sooner diabetics accept their frenemy relationship with modern over-carbed food the easier it gets. Also your legs are your largest muscle. Walk around the block soon after eating and the effect on your insulin efficiency will be remarkable. Your'e a T2DM so over time these little nudges will have a huge impact fairly quickly. [/QUOTE]
