[QUOTE="Deleted member 371625, post: 1880490"] After diagnosis (FBG 14, HbA1c 72) I began walking 30 minutes twice a day and modified my diet. Basically, I cut out cake, sweets, biscuits etc and cut right down on bread, potatoes, rice, pasta etc. (I still ate them but small portions). After a month when I had lost about a stone and my FBG was about 7 most days I began counting calories and carbs using cronometer.com (it is a free app) and gradually increasing walking to an hour twice a day (about 8 miles/day). I stuck to 1600 to 1800 calories a day and 120 to 130g carbs a day for 6 months losing a stone a month and getting a HbA1c reading of 32. At this stage I had reached 11 stones and didn't want to lose more so gradually increased to 1800 to 2000 calories and 170 to 180g carbs/day, measuring BG all the time. I have maintained this for the last year, cutting walking slightly but using a rowing machine in its place some days. Last 2 HbA1c were 31 (12 months) and 32 (18 months), and FBG averages 4.1. I now eat exactly what I want though carefully measure if not sure what effect may be. I still keep to under 200g carbs on all but very exceptional days, eat no processed food at all (except an occasional sausage) and naturally eat quite low saturated fat (about 70g / day total fat, but 15g/day sat fat). I don't eat any specifically low fat foods, but prefer fish, game & poultry over red meat so sat fat tends to be quite low without trying. I still test 4 or 5 times a week and am still careful with food, but take no meds at all and if a year plus with HbA1c of 32 (whilst eating normally) is not cured than I don't know what is. Occasionally I have a large bowl of pasta, or paella, or even white bread straight from the oven (rarely) and BG is always 5 or less after 2 hours. It has worked for me, a little exercise and a pretty ordinary ( if small portions of carbs) diet. I hope that it could work for other folks too. [/QUOTE]
