[QUOTE="Lizzie7, post: 101232, member: 21772"] Hi Spiral, I don't take any meds yet - the consultant at diagnosis (July) said that they would need to put me onto insulin soon - A1C was 10%. Three weeks later they did an A1C and it was 6.7%. Expecting the next one to be a lot lower - fingers crossed. Mind you, at diagnosis I was drinking full sugar coke throughout the day :oops: I've fallen off the wagon a few times and the impact on my bg is immediate. A small bag of plain crisps sent my bg sugar from 4.5 to 13.1 in a hour. I can, however, have something like a bag of crisps with a glass of wine and there is little affect - maybe a rise of 1.0 but I do get a higher fasting bg the next morning e.g. 5.3 - 5.6 GP thinks I'm a slow adult type 1 - little insulin resistance but an alarming response to sugar and refined carbohydrate. Diabetes clinic just say we'll have to 'wait and see'. You guys on the forum have really helped me get a handle on things - thank you! Lizzie x [/QUOTE]
