It was a way of me getting to know me and the way my body responded to the things life threw at it.    I've found it very useful.  Initially I did a low cal diet ( the newcastle diet) although I'm slim I'd read that to get fat from the Liver and pancreas it was effective.  Well it worked but it was brutal.  After 8 weeks of 800 caleries per day I settled into low carb .  I've gradually reduced these to less than 20 grams per day .  For me the slowly slowly approach has worked well enough to get my A1c down to pre diabetic levels .  My morning levels fluctuate now between 5 and 7 and like a previous poster a higher level seems to set the mood for the day.  My thinking is I'd rather trust the science than trust anything ANYONE says.</p></blockquote><p></p>
