[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 20047, member: 8110"] Hi Margaret! First Ignore the low fat, high carb rubbish. It will make the condition wose if you follow this advice and they will be making their prediction , that Diabetes is ALWAYS progressive, come true. Low carb is the way to go. this needn't be extreme Atkins, even though that wouldn't hurt you, but reduce bread, potatoes, pasta, rice, cakes and biscuits. Try to get rid of sugar particularly. You can drop them completely, perfectly safely, but TINY portions may be OK. You'll need to find out. they are meant to let you have enough test strips to find out what suits you, but you may well have to fight for them. As to exercise; It doesn't have to be power walking. Just walking where ever you need to go will do. Speed isn't critical. I can't walk fast, but wear my pedometer and try to do my 10,000 steps a day. I use my bus pass in prefernce to my car( it's cheaper anyway :D ) and I walk to bus stops. It all adds up. Fasting BG 7.7 and HbA1cseem not bad. If you're lucky, you'll be able to get that down a bit quite easily. [/QUOTE]
