This morning, it was 84. It hasn't went over 100 (at test time) in a few months, but then again, I eat under 30 (sometimes 20) grams of carbs a day.

Hello Daryl - Excellent control !!
You are a good testimony to low carbing as a "control" of diabetes. But the question becomes, are you cured or reversed.
Low carbing definitely controls the disease. I am currently taking Januvia as a med. The possibility of this drug is that it will help to revitalize the pancreas and its beta cells and thus perhaps "reverse" the disease; we will see.
I do need to read up on it more and understand more about Januvia. Otherwise, we are simply controlling our disease and staying out of trouble.
The lesson I learn from you is that the Dr. Bernstein approach of 6-12-12 gms of carbs per day along with exercise, truly controls the disease. But even the T1 diabetic must take insulin on 6-12-12 albeit it is minimized.
