[QUOTE="graj0, post: 943057"] Welcome to the forum, I'm sorry that good BG control seems to be illusive at the moment. I'm no spring chicken either being 63 and type II since '97 (19 not 18 LOL). I'm interested that your dietitian has suggested a low carb diet and you say "yet again", those sorts of dietitians would seem like hens teeth when I read this and other forums and the attitudes towards low carb diet. I'm not sure why you should say "we have all tried that approach to no avail". I think you will find that a lot of diabetics in general benefit from lowering their carb input rather than "feeling worse". I accept that it's affects might not be the same for everyone and consider myself to be lucky in that by removing bread/pasta/rice/potato from my diet, increasing my vegetable input, watching out for fruit's hidden sugars and not intentionally increasing fats, I was able to avoid being put on insulin, and threw away Gliclazide, Januvia and Atorvastatin. I try to take my BG most days at different times after meals and usually keep to under 7, although at the moment it's all over the place because I've had appendicitis and peritonitis and after surgery I'm still on those horrible antibiotics. As I say, been lucky to feel so much better keeping my carbs to under 100 gms a day, but I do know that my pancreas works adequately which may not be true for every type II. [/QUOTE]
