[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2250907, member: 41816"] Hi, In your situation, I would take the time to do some reading on the subject of type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, the way people move towards insulin resistance, and how to most effectively use your home meter to find out what is happening to your blood glucose in response to the food that you are currently eating, in your current portion sizes. Knowledge is power, and even if you find out that your body is coping very well at the moment, you will have information that may come in useful in future. My suggestion would be that you have a read of the [URL='http://www.bloodsugar101.com']www.bloodsugar101.com[/URL] website, and the [URL='http://www.dietdoctor.com']www.dietdoctor.com[/URL] website, and maybe have a read of this forum. No need to make drastic changes and turn into a hardcore anything, but rather just get familiar with it all. As for bothering your doctor... that is really a decision only you can make. In your situation, I probably wouldn't, because I would take the view that a bit of sensibly timed home testing (before and then 2 hours after eating) would give me a better understanding of what is going on than a fasting blood glucose test, or an HbA1c (which measures the approx average blood glucose reading over the last 2-3 months) would do. If you feel that you want a professional opinion on your situation, then definitely contact your doc. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
