Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="phil1966" data-source="post: 891739" data-attributes="member: 144138">This post perfectly illustrates the need to test irrespective of what the medical professionals might tell you! Everyone's diabetes is unique to them and what spikes one person might not spike another (and vice-versa). This is my main bone of contention with the advice handed out by the NHS: It's completely generalised and pays no heed at all to an individual's requirement.If I hadn't tested when I was first diagnosed I'm sure I'd be in a far worse place than I am now and I now know pretty much what I can and can't eat and I simply avoid any foods that spike me. It's a moving target though - since I got my BS under control I have found that I can eat stuff that I couldn't when I was first diagnosed so it's important to keep up with testing and continually adjust your diet to give you results that are acceptable to you personallyUltimately, my view is that it's my body and my diabetes and I'll do what is best for me and will simply ignore anyone who tells me I'm doing it wrong when the results clearly show I'm most certainly not!</blockquote>
