Glad to hear of your progress Musique
perhaps it is not for everyone but if you can stick with it, it now seems as if it will pay off in the long run. Some like to ease down the carbs but for me the better approach was to cut them out completely, establish a good baseline (and a good BG) and then gradually reintroduce some carbs... testing BG all the while. I find it surprising how my tastes have changed; such that things I may have seen as "treats" before are now quite disappointing.
If you do a web search on "dr bernstein's law of small numbers", often the first URL offered is an online (free) version of chapter 7 of his book "Diabetes Solution"
