Finally!
Nearly two years since I was misdiagnosed as Type 2. Six months since my numbers started climbing on oral meds. Three months since I started insulin and floundered around trying to get stable. I'm using the basal/bolus method and counting carbs and my numbers are starting to look good more often than not! In May before starting bolus my A1C was 7.2. I'm hoping when I re-do it in August it will be under 6! What a long road it's been but I'm finally getting there!

Oh, low carb pitas! Here I have been making sandwiches with cucumbers, tomatos, lettuce, feta and tahini sauce, but the whole wheat pitas have 30 carbs. That's fine for me but in the U.S. I will actually be able to get a hold of felafel mix and I need some carb wiggle room for that! Glad to hear the Dreamfields worked well for you. How does it taste? More like whole wheat pasta or regular?
So much for my reminder that if I move back to California I'm going to have to be on a budget....oh well, don't sweat the small stuff as they say...it's all the great restaurants I'm going to have to avoid, financially and carb-arily.(I made that up if you can't tell)

Dreamfields tastes and feels like white pasta. You ahve to be careful not to overcook it but I always am.
Yes, I LOVE falafel and have wanted ot make some. Maybe once I have insulin ...
I doubt you will drop much more on the foods ... I hope.

My FORMER endo insisted that I was type 2, despite the fact that I am 5' 6" and I weigh 114 pounds; I have Lupus, Hashimoto's, secondary Sjogren's, and Raynaud's phenomenon; my blood sugars werever very high at diagnosis, and I am VERY insulin sensitive - I rarely use more than 2 units per meal . I guess most of us are misdiagnosed as type 2's at first because most doctors, even endos, have outdated information!
