[QUOTE="worrywart, post: 881348, member: 45687"] Guys there's been an alarming change unfortunately Thursday afternoon i came home and tested my blood 3 hours after a basic (phase 1.5 rainbow green) salad. It was 8.8 mmol It took me a 3 mile run and 3 mile walk to get it down to around 5.5 mmol Yesterday my fasting was 4.7 mmol indicating there's still some function to my pancreas however i stepped back to having meals that were phase 1.0 (ultra basic low carb) and struggled to keep my numbers in range for the day. Without any activity after a meal i was 6.5 mmol. And these a crazy low-carb meals! Today my fasting was 5.0 mmol indicating it might be on the rise. I've decided to make a last ditch effort and have gone right back to eating only 4 litres of phase 1.0 green smoothies a day for 7 days (if i can last that long). I am taking all manner of vitamins and drinking bean pod tea to try and keep the numbers down. Again even drinking ultra low GI smoothies i have struggled to keep my numbers in range. This morning i was 6.5 mmol after a 30 minute walk and just now 5.3 mmol after a one hour walk. I have been checking before meals also and have noticed the numbers have crept up from what they were 2 hours after the last meal despite not having eaten anything in the interim. There is still a small glimmer of hope but in all honesty i think i'll be on insulin within a week. I am really upset and frightened, cant think about anything else and spending lots of my time feeling terrible and crying. I'm seeing my GP on Monday but if i don't last that long i'll have to go to A&E :( I feel terrible :( [/QUOTE]
