[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2211086, member: 401801"] Sounds like you're well on your way, and seeing immediate results to boot! We have a winner! Mind you, with your blood sugars going down to more healthy levels this fast, it [I]may[/I] affect your eyesight for a bit. If things get blurry, it's fine though: Your brain is used to compensating for the distortion in your vision (sugar in your eyes and tears muck things up a bit). It has to get used to not doing that anymore. It'll last about two weeks, if it happens at all, so don't run out and get new specs, you're probably fine just getting some 5 bob reading glasses, as it is temporary. Glad you decided to join! It does get better from here on in. And hey, I had two dieticians, "specialised" in T2, who told me to load up on bread, spuds and pasta, anything low fat... They just didn't have a clue. Even when my HbA1c came back drastically improved and in the normal range, they still said my diet was all wrong. *shrug* The proof is in your meter and in how you feel. It does get better. Loads better. Enjoy the bacon & eggs, you deserve them. :) Jo [/QUOTE]
