[QUOTE="Stephen Lewis, post: 2096076, member: 479176"] Hi Jellytott Hope you are still around and listening to what everybody says. Just over 12 months ago my so-called specialist said, "I can't do anything more for you, you are on your own." Sounds like your doctor. Then a friend told me about this site and forum and I discovered I was not on my own. I have had more help and information from the people here than all my medical professionals put together. The results - I have lost over 30 lbs about 2 st. and now down to about 11 st. Also sounds like you. I have stopped taking insulin and you don't want to get there. I still have Metformin but half the dose of 12 months ago but no other diabetic meds. I do eat very small quantities of potatoes at most meals but try to keep my daily carbs to about 50 gms (reduced to that level over a few months) and each meal to less than 20 gms. Do start testing as this is the only way you can see what foods have the worst affect on your glucose levels. You never know, you may be able to eat a higher amount of mashed occasionally. [/QUOTE]
