[QUOTE="millie_uk, post: 279917, member: 44850"] I have now had 2 days where my bg has stayed in single figures, it's been 20 days since diagnosis but I know I have had diabetes for quite some time, looking back. Fasting readings since I started testing on Sunday morning have been, sun 8.2, mon 8.2, tue 7.9, wed 7.8 and the highest reading has been 9.9 with many in the 8's. I am eating very little carbs at all, lots of fish, chicken, cheese, salad veg, green beans, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, nuts and seeds and Ceylon cinnamon for sweetness in rhubarb. Will it be ok to stay off carbs in the longer term? I know my bgs will shoot up if I eat bread, cereal etc. Will I be put on medication after the three months? Will my bg come down further? I've only been reading up on it since diagnosis and have lots to learn. Going on holiday to Cornwall tomorrow for ten days so will have red wine but not the heavy takeaways, I will cook most nights and at the steak house I will not have chips, just the steak and vegetables. I feel so much better and got rid of all symptoms quickly so that has to be good. Thanks for all the hints and tips so far. Millie. [/QUOTE]
