[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2396160, member: 451727"] Hi KayLS, thanks for giving us an update. Just so you know, wholemeal pasta/rice etc is pretty much the same as white, it just (supposedly) takes a longer time to reach the peak, I take exactly the same amount of insulin regardless of the colour. I think your levels are still way too high, I really do, especially for someone who is low carbing and otherwise 'active' etc. IF you are type 1/lada and I understand your GP has not done those tests, then no amount of 'lifestyle' change will be enough and you will need insulin. I know you have asked your GP but I would demand more tests are done and if necessary and if you can afford it, I would have them done privately. The only reason I managed to get them done straight after diagnosis was because I kept on and on and on telling them I ran 5 times a week, I was thin, I didn't smoke or drink alcohol and I ate very low carb (after diagnosis, medium carb before that). Even then they sort of said we'll do it as an afterthought and when the results came back there was no doubt it was type 1. I could easily have spent many more months fretting about what lifestyle change I could make and none of it would have made a jot of difference. Can you give us a typical days meals and carb amounts at all?, if you are eating wholemeal/white rice for example, what is your reading before & after? Either way, yes, your levels are too high, have you had a recent hb1ac? xx [/QUOTE]
