[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 755544, member: 88961"] Sounds like you have a meter you can use to test? If so, what are your current results? A target isn't a once and forever thing. I believe, particularly at the outset, we need a range of smaller targets, which allow us to demonstrate both progress and success. Once we near achieving a target, we can modify it to reflect a new achievable figure. By that I mean, if you are current;y scoring, say 8 before eating, and 12 after, you could set your initial targets at something like 7 and 9, then trim it back until you are reaching for tighter control. The published blood ranges, from this site are : [ATTACH=full]11483[/ATTACH] As I say, these ranges could be unachievable and de-motivational at the outset, but driving your blood scores down, usually by modifying what we eat is, in my view, the best way forward. Fortunately, I've never taken medication for my diabetes. I sort of knew if I went down that route, I'd subconsciously expect it to do all the work. And aside from all else, long term, daily medication doesn't fit with my current lifestyle. Good luck with it. [/QUOTE]
