[QUOTE="deszcznocity, post: 2282717, member: 520445"] I disagree. One thing that perspires from dr B’s book is the message - know/learn your body. The other message is - the less variables, the more predictability. My bg levels rise differently depending on the type of meat I eat and depending on the fat intake. I know how much and what veggies I can eat and by how much will my post prandial glucose rise. I cannot eat fruits other than an occasional one strawberry (with a lot of whipped cream and dark chocolate sprinkled on top). I have tried and I have learnt. I know how to adjust Tresiba dosage in the morning when I know I will have stress at work. I know that I cannot take Tresiba for bedtime because as soon as my head hits the pillow my liver stops producing glucagon and my bg plummets only to reach the normal blood glucose as if I did not have diabetes at all. I use only about 30 recipes - this keeps me away from being bored of the same food over and over again, but gives all the assurance and predictability. I eat to have energy, not to eat away my stress or my problems. Anyway, I feel lucky I am not a woman, because it is a different ball game for them having to additionally deal with menstrual cycle hormonal changes every month. I try to do the best out of what I can. Life is unpredictable, sure. But again, this disease is managable with 5e right tools and the right approach. But when an obese dietician tries to lecture me on essential amount of carbs or when I speak to a nurse and she offers fiasp when I ask for regular insulin or when my consultant is worried about me getting a hypo and not by me getting complications, then I just feel really frustrated. Sorry, rant over. [/QUOTE]
