[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 711388, member: 94045"] It's great to see you being proactive. I also keep all my records on a spreadsheet, with graphs aswell. I find this a great motivator. I'm not as hardcore as some on here. I started slowly, eating about 126g carbs a day then gradually dropped them down to under 60, using my meter to tell me where I was going wrong. My averages have dropped month by month since April when I started testing. My HbA1c has dropped from 53 to 43, and my average fasting from 7 to 6 in May, then 5's thereafter. I am more a tortoise than a hare, slow but sure. Others prefer to go cold turkey and drop their numbers faster. We are all different. I don't agree with [USER=21149]@Daibell[/USER] about exercise. Brisk walking is as good as anything. 30 minutes a day. Personally, I have 2 walks a day, each of about 20 to 30 minutes, plus housework. Obviously, the more you do, the better it is for your general health. You will find your weight will come off on a low carb diet. See my signature. I lost 4 stones between February and September with no effort other than low carb and increased fats. My problem was stopping it from coming off even more. It took me a long time to stabilise it. You are doing all the right things. [/QUOTE]
