[QUOTE="Mushroom, post: 513531, member: 46607"] Hi again. Trying to answer your questions. 1.'Well controlled, I would mean using your meter and either through carb or portion control your blood sugars are below 7.8mmol. 2. I don't have symptoms and the fact you mention eating carbs and feeling thirsty makes a difference, must show a link with sensitivity to higher blood sugars. I have a limited knowledge of causes of diabetes, but found this lecture very useful in terms of explaining control with weight loss. Prof Taylor is responsible for the 'Newcastle Diet' showing quick weight loss (usually through surgery but his is a strict diet/food restricion) improves diabetes. [url]http://www.fend-lectures.org/index.php?menu=view&id=94[/url] 3. I use strips. I bought me own meter. I started testing two hours after every meal and it helped me work out foods and portin sizes which raised my sugars. Two years on I only use them for new foods. I don't test in the morning as sugars are supposed to be naturally raised for diabetics anyway due to 'Dawn Phenomenon' - liver dumpping sugar. I believe some people take some carbs before bedtime and find it lowers their morning result. 4. Yep, high fat. That's where the energy source which would usually be from carbs. Two years ago on diagnosis, my ratio was 4.74, now 3.28. LDL was stayed same at 3.6. HDL was 1.14, now 1.77. Cholesterol was 5.4, now 5.8. Total cholesterol went up to 7.1 last year but that tends to happen during first months on LCHF. Trigs were 1.4, now 1. I am not totally convinced about the recommended cholesterol levels and refuse statins anyway. My choice. All done with weight loss and exercise. No meds. [/QUOTE]
