[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2205107, member: 355878"] Using a blood testing meter to see how your glucose levels react to various foods is perhaps the most essential first step - by the time you get any response from GP or 'education' for diabetes you might well have become a former diabetic - in that your Hba1c will have reduced below the diagnostic level. If you do that you might well not see your doctor for some time. I last saw mine at diagnosis. Possibly sulking. Of course there are some HCPs who are interested in seeing their patients return to normal. I went to Spirit Healthcare website, registered, returned the confirmatory email and ordered one of their Tee2 meters and some strips. There are other cheap to run meters. The main thing to work with is that for a type two, with luck, eating fewer carbohydrates, sugars and starches, will restore normal readings after eating, which might then result in normalizing metabolism, some weightloss, more energy and general well being. Replacing the carbohydrates with fats to use as fuel is part of the process - avoid low fat foods. Basically it is very simple. The modern diet is too high in carbs too low in fats. [/QUOTE]
