[QUOTE="Romola, post: 142880, member: 16967"] Stress contributes to many health problems, and I feel that so long as my fasting levels stay below 6.0, I am happy. I don't intend to worry just because others can get it lower by eating unsustainable, and ultimately unheatlhy diets. I know others compete to have the lowest HbA1cs etc - but somewhere within the acceptable range for T2s is fine by me. My usual fasting level is around 5.5, and my last Hb test was 5.9. I eat a low GL diet - initially for weight loss, and now for maintenance, but most days I have a some dark chocolate after dinner - and if I feel hungry, I have a biscuit or other snack between meals. I eat everthing I ever did - but the "naughty stuff" only as an occasional treat, and then only in small portions. No forbidden food. I feel strongly that diabetics' mental health is important too, and not stressing over every morsel of food certainly helps me. [/QUOTE]
