[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2276823, member: 196898"] The book that did it for me was Blood Sugar 101 by Jenny Ruhl (still available on Amazon). She gives an easy to understand description of how our food interacts with us, and introduces the Low Carb approach to eating. 5 years ago I too was up in the same stratosphere as you. and my meter was regularly going off scale I was that bad, and my HbA1c came in at 99. I was on large dose of diabetic meds, and being threatened with insulin regimes. I found this forum, started LCHF and within a month or so I was getting regularly below 8 mmol/l on the meter. Nowadays I am in control, and rarely see anything above 7.4 or below 4 and I have dropped most of my medication. We are all different, and the advice from others about Type 1 is still a possibility, but you are evidently producing some insulin judging by the midrange post meal readings. especially after Weetabix or potatoes. It may just be a honeymoon period, but cutting carbs should help you take back some control. [/QUOTE]
