[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2253378, member: 511345"] Hello and welcome to the forum. You have found a great resource with amazing people. People here are very generous with their support and advice- you could not have found a better place. Read around and ask questions. I'm another that suggests that you spend some time regularly testing your levels. The app that [USER=460785]@xfieldok[/USER] suggested is great and will give you an estimated HbA1c which is helpful. The thing to realise with the Hba1c is that it is only annaverage. It is helpful but limited in the information it provides. I think that regular testing is very important to learn what your body tolerates. After a while once you know the effect of different foods you can reduce the testing. I still test to keep myself accountable. The possible complications of diabetes are significant and worth me spending some time everyday testing. It also helps my motivation to keep really low carbs. Good luck and welcome. [/QUOTE]
