[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 2063666, member: 408573"] So, what is the alternative? What are the other ways we can monitor our progress? Bath scales? BMI? A1c? None of these will tell us that the wholegrain bread recommended by a DN is stopping us losing ectopic fat and may have summat to do with the gut issues or fatigue etc we are still feeling. BMI is a useless marker imo. And if trends continue HbA1c's will be annual for everyone unless one is in dire straights. My cheap little monitor taught me that legumes of any kind raise my bg to unacceptable levels, that broccoli has no discernible affect and that I am not one of those people who are super sensitive to protein. I'm funding it myself ergo I do not need permission or even opinion (from a HCP) on whether it is a good idea or not. [/QUOTE]
