[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 115425, member: 11028"] [/quote] I don't think being diagnosed as a diabetic is ever likely to be a positive in anyboby's life. Certainly, I included it with the all the negative aspects of 2009 (and there were many). But has there been a benefit? Well, yes there has. On diagnosis, I completely threw out the existing diet (along with the chip pan) and started again. The diet (based on the advice of the dietician) was subsequently revised once I joined this forum and found out how wrong the official diet was. I have now lost 2 stone in weight; I look a lot better for it and I feel a lot better for it. I can't look at my last summer holiday photos without cringeing at how overweight I was (and I was certainly [i]aware[/i] of it). I can now expand the diet with confidence to include some semblance of the things I used to like and now miss (The BG meter is essential here). Importantly, I can now don a pair of speedos with confidence, when I go swimming. 8) I would never have inflicted that sight on anyone 5 months ago. :shock: IanS[/quote] We will take your word on that Ian regarding the speedos, spare us the photo mate.......its to early in the morning! :lol: Nigel [/QUOTE]
