[QUOTE="AllieRainbow, post: 1893667, member: 473025"] Today I had my first reading in the 4s since the summer, and only my 5th reading in that range since I began testing. I am currently eating one meal a day plus a snack of nuts, cheese and olives if necessary, and have increased my exercise over the last week. I am eating under 5 a day for veggies and mainly raw vegetables rather than cooked, as they seem better for the blood sugar for me. Plenty of fats and moderate protein, and lots of water. After a very unproductive summer due to fatigue caused by blood pressure medication making exercise difficult and energy levels low, I feel like I am turning a corner. I have dropped around 10 pounds in weight over the last few weeks, and feel a lot better all round, with much better energy levels at the moment. My doctor said that he would like to see if my lifestyle changes can continue to bring the blood pressure down without medication as it had big side effects for me, and I will be doing another HbA1c test in February, and a review of the blood pressure situation, with self monitoring of BP in the mean-time. He was extremely pleased with my progress from a HbA1c of 82 on diagnosis in April this year, to 42 on re-testing in August. My challenge for myself now is to continue to lose weight, exercise and lower the BG and BP with my lifestyle changes. [/QUOTE]
