[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1754125, member: 355878"] I noticed that you are testing one hour after eating - the usual test is two hours after the first bite - because everyone has elevated BG after meals. Although we are told that fat people with bad diets are the ones punished by becoming Type two diabetics, it is just one of those media myths - if your body cannot cope with the amount of carbs put into it, that is simply a fact, and reducing the carbs will often reduce the BG levels - apparently my readings are often lower than 'normal' people see - but I put on weight so quickly and easily when eating carbs that I need to keep my numbers down. I have had to eat small amounts all my adult life - something many people would not believe. On a LCHF diet I manage my type two diabetes very well - it is not a high protein diet, as protein can be converted to glucose if there is not enough fat to burn. It is another myth that fats are bad for us - there are essential fats, and we can become rather unwell if we do not get them. [/QUOTE]
