I too stay in the 30 range, all from veggies with the OCCASIONAL fruit for a "sweet" treat. So far it seems to be working. My A1C has gone from 9.1 on March 18, to a 6.2 as of last week, plus 32 lbs down. I am still treating solely with diet and exercise, no meds. Still LOTS of room for improvement, but I am moving in the…

I recently tried strawberries again and the first time, not a problem. Sugar was 123. Second time, a spike. I am still experimenting, for lack of a better term, with…

I too am a diabetic who is trying to control my sugar levels without medication or insulin. I have been doing low carb for right at a month and am already down 16 pounds. My A1C was 9.something and is now estimated at 7.5. The first 2 weeks were the hardest. I had many a melt down feeling like I couldn't eat anything I…
