[QUOTE="Carpetsalesman, post: 2316655, member: 526513"] I have a very similar lifestyle, body type, demographic to you. I believe I was tipped over by pasta and cereal, which are horrific from a carb point of view - thought I was eating well! I'm five months into no bread, no pasta, no cereal, no pastry, no potatoes, no cakes, no sweets. I have not enjoyed it, and my FBG is still stubbornly above 6.0. If I do eat any of the above, I will see scores of 9 or 10 for hours afterwards unless I exercise them away, and then for days afterwards any carbs I do eat seem "sticky" on my blood glucose. A couple of things I have found (although I know very little): - GPs are not interested. My GP says I have no issue. The NHS can fix you if you're clearly broken. The NHS does not tinker. - Weights, squats, etc., are a good way to drag a spike back to normal levels - Watch your blood pressure - I switched over to cheese, bacon, fish, steak,and now I have high blood pressure AND prediabetes! - Forget grain based cereal. Stop trying to negotiate with your body - for you, Weetabix is over. I'm currently on full fat yoghurt + small portions of an eye-wateringly expensive "paleo" breakfast mix. It's ok, omelette every day gets a bit much. - My main issue now is eating enough to keep weight on. - Fingerprick testing is useful and unless you're crazily phobic it's not a big deal. Still not cheap though. [/QUOTE]
