Message: <blockquote data-quote="KennyA" data-source="post: 2435622" data-attributes="member: 517579">Remission doesn't mean I've not got diabetes. My A1c is around 36-38 and stable. I eat ~20g carb/day, mainly from veg.  fasting without effort for 12-18 hours most days. I usually only have one meal (breakfast or dinner, but usually not both because it's too much food when you're not hungry) and maybe some salami, olives  and cheese at the other end of the day.  I generally eat meat and dairy, above ground veg, and legumes (sometimes).  Homemade pork scratchings are good and whisky has zero carbs. I am still sensitive to potatoes, rice, pasta and bread (pastry in particular) and even very small amounts elevate my BG unacceptably. Full portions would be very destructive.  I am not about to start eating carbs anytime soon because I had a raft of unpleasant diabetic symptoms which mostly appeared long before my BG reached "official diabetic" levels. It's likely therefore that even a small rise in my BG (to the low 40s say) would see a lot of those symptoms return.</blockquote>
