[QUOTE="Deleted member 371625, post: 1402700"] Hi Helga When I was diagnosed I cut out cake, biscuits, sweets etc. (well mostly, it was a week before xmas) and cut down on portion size for stuff like spuds and bread. To be fair, I had probably been eating best part of 3000 calories a day with maybe 400-500g carbs. This is really the only change that I have made, with some increase in exercise (I always walked a lot anyway but am being more systematic). I always ate a lot of good food, just had a lot of bad stuff on top. As the weight began to drop off my BG figures have fallen too (see signature below). There is quite a lot of evidence linking excess weight to insulin resistance so it may be that this is all that was necessary as occasional higher carb meals appear to be having no effect. I do measure after my heaviest carb meal each day, 2 hour values are all under 6 and often under 5. I haven't had another Hba1c done yet (due in April) but it would be a surprise if I didn't see a significant fall as I'm not sure how low daily BGs would have to be. If this continues is it cure or remission? If I can attain normal BG figures with a normal diet and no meds, then I believe cure - though certain to return if weight goes back on. I guess just a matter of a persons point of view. Anyway, bad lad today, after 4 hours yomping across fields and hillsides and a nice chicken, tomato, mozzarella, avocado salad, I hade some great chips and a beer. BG at 530 is 5.2 so pretty standard. I wish you well and hope that you can get your weight down and maybe get your BG in good order again. [/QUOTE]
