[QUOTE="Q007, post: 2054224, member: 73045"] Hi Po, hoping the day is finding you well. Thank you for such a detailed reply, it must have taken you ages to type, I found your story fascinating Po, truly grateful for sharing the details. You're more brave than I. Funny enough they gave me antibiotics as soon as I went to resus. My mission is to keep my diabetes under control, my cardiologist was candid about my outlook with heart failure AND diabetes, he said the best thing I can do for my heart is control diabetes. I'm sure many have heard of the XPERT course for diabetics. Its half day session for 8 weeks. They trained us to eat carbs and abandon diets of any kind. They talked about what they called ' The eat well plate' 1/3rd carbs, 1/3rd protein and 1/3rd veg (fruit included). So I have baby potatoes in skins which you can buy preprepared at supermarkets and they are scrummy. Portion control was discussed, sugar free foods, diabetic marketed foods and a partridge in a pear tree.. The course was excellent but polarised views on carbs to what I read on hear. They gave as a glossy book to take away with pictures on different meals as they would look on your plate. I followed it to the letter for 6 months and my Hba1C came down to 40 so technically in remission, I was so delighted. I don't understand why the xpert course pushed us to this balanced eat well plate and changed all our views on carbs (all the delegates were trying and failing to low carb) - this forum, which is an ever flowing font of knowledge for me, tells me to low carb low carb. Has anyone any views on this polorised view on carbs? All I know at the moment is no matter what I eat, I can't get my bgs below 10. I had three stents so less likely to have another MI and more likely to have a stroke unless I can control my sugar, yes I'm panicking, I can't have a stroke - I'd have to take care of business if I did. BTW my nickname is "Q" , not James Bond more like Brooke Bond. Qx [/QUOTE]
