[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 659685, member: 94045"] Brilliant Ian. Well done to you. 5 out of 5 from me, too. Diagnosed early January 2014. I have never seen a doctor about diabetes, not once. I have only seen a nurse. I was told to eat a lot of carbs, especially bread, plus baked beans, jacket potatoes, peas, low fat, low salt, blah di blah. I was also told I could still have a piece of cake or an ice cream as a treat providing it wasn't every day. I was never told anything about meters, just told to lose weight and come back in 3 months. To be honest, I was delighted!! It meant I didn't need to change my diet very much :joyful: This forum has been a godsend. I didn't even have a clue that carbs turn to glucose! Thank you to each and everyone of you for the friendly posts, support and advice. . [/QUOTE]
