[QUOTE="ratherbegliding, post: 1693847, member: 98612"] Hi everyone, I don't often post on these forums. I've been a T1 for over 25 years now and 'thought' I had reasonably good control (haven't suffered a serious hypo in years). Then I watched the video posted earlier in this post. Then I read Dr Bernstein's book (referred to as mandatory reading in the video!) So I thought I'd give the diet a try. It's been a week now. and OH MY GOD!!!! It's like night and day - my BG is now pretty much ALWAYS between 4.0 and 7.0 mmol/l yet I take about a third of the insulin I used to: [INDENT][INDENT][INDENT]Before.........Now[/INDENT][/INDENT][/INDENT] Breakfast...............8..............2.5........Novorapid Lunch....................9..............4................. " Dinner...................9..............5................. " Bedtime...............15.............6............Lantus Daily total...........41............17.5 I'm not very good at keeping to the carb allowance of 6g for breakfast and 12g for lunch and dinner as laid out in the book. I'm more like 8g/15g/15g. Why doesn't everyone know about this? - I'm never hungry between meals (so I don't snack anymore) - I never force myself to eat to keep the sugar levels from dropping - I no longer feel tired at various times of the day - I have no issues with managing my sugars when I exercise - my sugar levels are just so **** stable! I could go on, but I won't. :) I haven't felt this positive about my diabetes.....ever. Thank you to the posters on that first page...you've changed my life! And finally, keep spreading the word! I've been telling everyone I know who is, or has family members who are, diabetic or pre-diabetic. Awesome! ;) RBG [/QUOTE]
