I have been fairly lucky so far (touch wood). My next apt with the diabetes doctor is Thursday next week and my levels have been great, only 2 or 3 at 7.4 and that has been my highest. Otherwise I have kept them under <7.0 and my first one of the morning has always been under <5.5. So, I am pretty happy with myself. Just have to keep it up. We were out for dinner last week and I had potato chips with dinner because I was so hungry. I was going to leave them on the plate, but I was just too hungry. Anyway, my reading was 7.4, which is high but not too bad.

I have been exercising as well and noticing I am really hungry so sometimes I eat more than I should of the rice portions, but because I am eating low-gi rice, it isn't affecting the levels too much (what a relief!!!).
