[QUOTE="ohneclue, post: 1770186, member: 408583"] Great job and well done. I just wish the ADA in America would stop recommending 225 g carb that just LOVES starchy foods for each and every meal. I started ignoring it when my dr. told me in March 2013 my kidneys would need dialysis because I had been listening to those Registered Dingbats associated with that organization. I stopped on 6-3-2013 and went low carb to 45 g a day and cut out all starchy foods. Three weeks later, my A1c (US one) went from 7.2 to 6.6. mg/dL The following September 2013 it was 6.0. It is now 4.7 mg/dL for the last 6 months. In September 2016 I stopped eating any fruit and my A1c went from 6.0 to 5.2 mg/dL I still eat NO fruit with their limited amounts of "phyto" (meaning plant source) but little real nutrition except high sugar counts. But I do eat cooked veggies for maximum nutrition like cooked carrots for the important eye nutrients they have and the rest is mostly salads with Parmesan cheese shreds, a head of green leaf lettuce, a bunch of chopped green onions usually about 15, about 5 diced Roma tomatoes and cooked carrot slices or shreds and home-made Bleu cheese dressing. I still eat eggs, pork, chicken and I'm much healthier even if I'm also 5 years older and a lot wiser. I just wish the ADA would change their diet plan from the Dumb Diabetic Diet to a more lower carb (carbs just aren't needed by humans most of the time because our body uses fats to make normal blood sugars) and not be ignorantly against low carb, higher fat plans like the one I follow now with a little Intermittent Fasting (I eat only when hungry) for good measure.
