[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 944353, member: 88961"] Many, many of us have found if we really tone down or give up carbs - not just the white carbs, it makes a significant impact on our bloods. I urge you to try that. As you are testing, you could see an impact fairly quickly. Many of us have also found we lost weight by cutting the carbs - whether we wanted to or not! In terms of the fat elements; that's a matter of choice, but by the nature of their manufacture, low fat products contain higher carb levels than their full fat brothers and sisters, so just giving up the low fat (as opposed to deliberately eating more butter, fat and cream) could make a difference. I also found I got less hungry on full fat yoghurt than on low fat. Whilst exercise is desirable, and all helps with toning it, it's almost the fine tuning for most people. By a long, long way, we have found the biggest impact is seen by what passes our lips. Clearly it's important that you continue to diligently test, so that you can ensure you don't go too low, once levels start to drop. Many T1s and T2s using insulin, who reduce their carbs, find that over time their doses tend to reduce a bit. By how much is a very personal thing, depending on the results. Good luck with it all.
