[QUOTE="KeithT 2, post: 1882945, member: 469507"] Hi rprprp. It seems to me, that like most of us have been at one time or another, you are still in some denial and quandary over your diabetes. It took me almost a decade with numbers well above 7 mmol/L and often numbers in the low teens to get serious about the food I was eating. Also the fact that my eyesight was getting progressively worse though still fairly good for my age. The fact is, I didn't want to go blind so needed to take control pretty quickly. I began by analysing what foods gave me the highest numbers. I found potatoes, rice and pasta were like poison to me, sending my BG numbers rocketing. I would suggest that over the the next few weeks you gradually reduce the carbs that could be causing your high numbers and perhaps cut them out altogether after your midday lunch. I did that and my numbers are now often pre diabetic and falling. The bonus was that I also lost 1.5 stone in the year I have been controlling better. I'm no expert, I still make mistakes, and sometimes I get my diet wrong. But in general I am happy with a low carb diet and don't even miss my once beloved potatoes that much. My fasting numbers over this past week have been in the region 4.5, which I am happy with. When I first started taking control in November 2011 my numbers were: [COLOR=#ff0000][B]Evening 18/11/2017 14.1 Morning 19/11/2017 [/B][/COLOR][B][COLOR=#ff0000]7.2[/COLOR] [/B][COLOR=#000000]Now[/COLOR][B][COLOR=#000000]:[/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(0, 128, 255)]Evening 18/09/2018 [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=rgb(0, 128, 255)][B]4.7 [B]Morning [B]19/09/2018 4.6 [/B][/B][/B][/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]So it can be done but you will have to make it work for yourself.
