[QUOTE="mrpaulgee, post: 2355770, member: 535641"] There is a reason for the carb focus in my case. My exercise is around 2 hours of fast walking (7-9 miles) per day, and I need the carbs to fuel this. Saying this I don't think my carb count is excessive. I believe it's the carb that sugars that is really crucial to a diabetic, so all of the carbs I consumer are low glycemic index carbs. My diet is largely protein based with low GI carbs or no carbs. I was one of the first people to successfully lose weight on a low carb regime (not Atkins by the way). The way my body works is, however, as confusing as it is frustrating. I stopped using a meter and rely on the HbA1c. I suppose I could start going through that malarky once again, but to be honest, found the whole metering thing took over my life and my doctor wasn't interested so I stopped testing. Since my original post, I have started using non-dairy milk alternatives. I think there is something else happening. Not even sure I am diabetic, as other things cause high blood sugars, and if my diabetic medication is not working then my plan is to come off it, as a waste of time [/QUOTE]
