[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1145900, member: 211504"] To [USER=294697]@Pain911~[/USER] My goal is to be in the 70-100 range as much as possible, but there are infrequent (though not unusual) times when it can exceed (or drop below) that range. The low-carb diet helps significantly with keeping it in range. Don’t get too discouraged if you’re around 100-150. That’s already considered extremely good. However, I can understand wanting to get them lower as I feel the same way. My a1c 3-months after diagnosis was 6.0 which equates to about a 130 mg/dl average blood sugar so I was very close to those numbers when I was first diagnosed. My last a1c (~8 months after diagnosis) was 5.4% which is about a 109 mg/dl average. My doctors were incredibly impressed with that, for reference. I often eat the same meals every day with a little variation here and there. There are about 20-30 different foods that I know like the back of my hand and know how they’ll affect my blood sugar. I tend to stick with those foods for the most part. You may talk to your doctors about splitting your Levemir injection into twice a day. Most (myself included) find that Levemir only lasts about 16 hrs. While it means an extra shot each day, the good part is my control is much better that way. Based on past posts, her basis for that statement is how protein affects the MTOR pathway. While the concept is interesting, it's far from proven, and very little research has been done on subject. Admittedly, I'm a bit skeptical as many of the sources who discuss the subject do so in a book or diet plan that they sell for profit. While we're each entitled to our own opinion, I'd categorize the theory about the MTOR pathway as being similar to the concept of eating a low fat diet because you have high cholesterol....it makes sense in theory, but in practice most find that to not be the case. EDIT- I'll let Kristin answer for herself, but my comments are only based on past discussions we've had along similar lines. [/QUOTE]
