[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2198452, member: 493719"] Hi [USER=90244]@Gardengnome[/USER] . Sorry to hear of your loss. The advice is pretty standard it seems, with little deviation allowed on the whole, but things are moving, if at a glacial speed. Your efforts so far have kept T2 at bay, so you're doing much of the right things already. IF you were to increase your adherence to whichever diet you currently follow (lower portions or carbs) I'd suggest you'd further improve your BG compared to the eatwell plate advice most HCP offer. Just as an aside..l used to suffer with joint pains, swelling etc on a regular basis, just put it down to getting older, but since I went LCHF.. And that for me is around 50/60 carbs a day, (2 meals a day) the fat is just fats on meat, nuts olives avocado plus double cream for desserts.(Real fruits.. Yum) that's all tailed right off. Many others report less inflammation eating the LCHF way... May or may not help your circumstances personally, but worth a little investigation, perhaps ? I did read that exercise is good, but it is weights and resistance training that offers the best reductions of BG levels. Kind of makes sense.. Food is fuel, we turn it to glucose and store what we don't need for later. (But T2 do that badly) and rush glucose to the muscles when needed for energy. For those times I can't lift weights..I use the wife's resistance band to work my muscles, so they make that call for the excess glucose and help bring down my BG... Might be an alternative if moving or your usual exercise routine is now too difficult? As for the fasting finger tests. It's quite possibly your body giving you the help to start the day by dumping glucose into you at dawn.. Aka dawn phenomenon. Have to agree, advice is poor, and in comparison to [USER=517495]@KernowKeith[/USER] experience, the heart follow up was just way more professional and relevant. We do still have a long way to go before we really get to grips with this modern day epidemic. Best of luck going forward, which ever way you choose. [/QUOTE]
