[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1959575, member: 94045"] I agree that insulin is important and needs to be kept down. This to me means low carbs, no fruit apart from a few berries but not every day, and no snacking. I believe it is high circulating insulin that causes all the damage and leads to complications and weight gain. It is criminal that we can't have insulin tests as a matter of routine. I only test now to maintain my personal data. I have no need to test out meals as such. I already know what I can eat safely. I am only interested in 2 levels - fasting and before evening meal. I also have the Libre part time, mainly when we are on holiday. So, as long as my fasting level is low 5s or under and my before evening meal level is 4s I am happy. I lost all my excess weight over 4 years ago and haven't gained any since then, so weight control doesn't enter my head, at least for now. [/QUOTE]
