I have spent the last 3 years out of control with managing my type 2 condition. My mother died and have to say I just thought sod it. Piled on 3 stone and now feeling scared. Yesterday was the first day in 3 years where I have not eaten crisps,sweets etc. Have purchased another testing kit but a little worried about the results it will give me. Hoping I can stay back on track this time. Thanks everyone
I am in the same boat buddy.
I started back last week and shared it here for the help and support.
I lost 5kg this last week (I'm a big chap so always get a good initial loss when I go clean) and my avg blood sugar have been around 7.6 which I'm happy about. Previously this was in double figures!!
You can do it, one day at a time! I'm following a kind of keto diet, so reduced carbs, avoiding anything sugary and just reviewing weekly to see how it affects my bloods and weight and adjusting where I can.
Happy to help or support if you need but you deffo took the first step posting it! I know that has helped me this past week!
