[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2263702, member: 401801"] There's people who are scared of needles or can't afford to self-fund test strips, or have a gazillion other reasons not to test, like you. They have the option to just "blindly" eat. If there are no medications in play like insulin or gliclazide they can safely just go as low carb as possible (ketogenic diet, carnivore, LCHF), without risk of a hypo. The only thing is, with the 2.0 mmol thing, that you can see progress clearly. (It's one heck of a motivator). But hey, if that doesn't work for you, work around it. Just keep in mind it'll be a looooong time before your fasting blood sugars improve, even if the rest of the day your blood sugars are absolutely beautiful due to the way you eat and fast. So try and have a little faith in yourself, if you can't check those other numbers without anxiety kicking in. Even if the fasting numbers remain a tad high in the coming months, (you could just save yourself the strips and test your fasting once every two weeks or so) that doesn't mean there's no improvement, okay? You're just not seeing it if you're not testing. [/QUOTE]
