My goal is to keep off insulin for as long as i can.The cause of my original diagnoses concluded that i had glandular feaver 20 years earlier this compromised my immune system.I read a lot about food, diabetes, and nutrition,  i am not neurotic about it i was given some advice by a friendly nurse, she advised me the best thing i can do for my diabetes is to keep my levels at a good level, to do this i  should monitor the blood, by taking a reading before a meal, then 2 hours after,  this will indicate how effective the meal has been. (today they call this eating by the meter), i have done this eversince.Good luck to you all it is long journey ahead of us.Brenda</blockquote>
