[QUOTE="Countrykins, post: 613589, member: 119141"] Hi decolana I am in the same situation. As yourself. I had a routine blood test and was later asked to see the doc to be told I was borderline diabetic type 2. However her advice was to lose weight and in her opinion I could avoid developing it further. I haven't been back since as I'm spending a lot of,time abroad but I have bought a monitor and sticks etc. I have lost about. 12 lbs as a result of being on this site and following the LCHP advice which suits me very well. I still need to lose more to get my BMI recommended weight correct but I checked that out on the web as well so know what I'm aiming at. I'm not testing every day as I seem it be settling into a pattern of 5 - 6.2 fasting - and never higher than 8,after food and rightly or wrongly I'm still having a glass of red wine with my evening meal but that's my biggest sin I think. The glucose monitor sticks are so expensive to buy which is why unless I'm concerned I'm no longer doing the test every few hours. But I did have a routine to start - with before meals and two hours after - the highest reading I ever had at the start was 10 m mols. But only the once - so no idea what I had to cause that . Anyway I believe if you can find a mode of eating which you can enjoy at this stage of our diabetic diagnosis - guided by the brilliant advice and support on this forum - we maybe a lot luckier than some of our members here. It seems to be working for me so,I can only speak as I have found. Good luck x [/QUOTE]
