[QUOTE="Skinny43, post: 2160850, member: 516352"] Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experiences. It’s really encouraging to hear from your stories that it’s possible to control diabetes even for non-overweight people. Sapien- I shall experiment with exercise and monitor my sugar level more closely. I’ve not actually done a check right before exercise and during or right afterwards. I’ve only checked after exercise and felt disappointed it wasn’t way lower, but maybe the before reading would have been even higher if I had checked! It’s going to take some practice to get this thing tamed! I am going to the diabetes prevention course in a couple of weeks and will see what the professionals say too. Jo- After more than a week’s trying on low carbs , I find myself actually less hungry when I eat less carbs! That’s contrary to what I initially felt. I have always been addicted to carbs especially white rice and constantly hungry but now I don’t miss it much at all and I’m less hungry. Weird but I take it as a positive:). I have lost 1kg since starting low carbs. I have read the links and will keep an eye on my weight and use your tips to gain weight if needed. Thank you! Jim - I’ll try a light exercise next time possibly a slow jog and measure before and after to see how the sugar level goes. Perhaps my run was too strenuous so the sugar level went up. It’s also interesting about weight lifting. It’s frustrating that everybody find different things that work and don’t work. So the key is to keep trying to find what works and stick to it isn’t it! I can feel some patience is needed. Jo and Concordjan - it’s so encouraging to learn from your examples and it’s possible. Yes indeed I shall try and prove the nurse wrong! I started using mySugr app and my estimated a1c was 40 (diagnosed with 44) after a week of trial and error. How accurate can the estimate be? Thank you again. Ruiyan [/QUOTE]
