[QUOTE="michaeldavid, post: 389710, member: 57211"] If you look at my earlier post on this thread, at 9.19 this morning, you'll see I expressed a lack of confidence in diabetic experts' advice. Bearing that in mind, it sounds like you are doing really quite well at controlling your condition. Before I discovered (for myself) the highly moderating effect of rye bread on the blood-sugar (spelt bread is very good too), and before I adopted my own insulin regimen (contrary to the advice of the likes of Professor Mike Sampson at the Elsie Bertram Diabetes Centre in Norwich), and before I was testing my blood-sugar in a quasi-obsessive fashion, I was having regular hypos. Now, touch wood, I hardly ever have hypos. And if I do, they're far easier to catch before they become serious - my blood-sugar never CRASHES. Moreover, and in particular, I can go to bed at night and sleep safely. I'm afraid the average doctor, and all the diabetic experts I've come up against, do not give good advice with regard to diabetic control. In particular, they seem to assume that diabetics should eat as though they weren't really diabetic at all: ie. the orthodoxy is that diabetics should eat breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner like everyone else. The insulin regimen that the experts recommend is in accordance with that dogma. So what you say about "people on here and medical staff" does not surprise me. And I know they're wrong. [/QUOTE]
