[QUOTE="Sean01, post: 984308"] I'm recently diagnosed (6th Oct) Type 2, only on metformin at the moment. I'm seeing my Diabetes nurse for the first time next week. In the first 4 weeks I have lost 20lbs (from 23 stone) simply through cutting out chocolate, potatoes, pasta, rice etc. I collect rare malt whisky, and normally I only drink in October, but I had to cut that out. I'm 50. I want to kick diabetes into touch. I don't want to live with it. I was a chocaholic. Typical day: 2 king size mars, a bar or two of chocolate, hot chocolate drinks etc etc and always on hand to share a box of chocolates. I went cold turkey - instantly stopped.I don't even want to eat the 90% stuff that's out there. All I'm saying is that it can be done. Don't mix with chocolate eaters, walk out of the room, tell people you can no longer eat chocolate. if they are real friends, they will stop offering it. Read up on fighting addictions, read up on how smokers quit. It's not easy. (I needed help from my wife with the supermarket shopping because I got too upset going to Morrisons ( I'm a big chap. Nothing made me cry other than the closing scenes of films like Gladiator, but seeing shelves of chocolate upset me, but a couple of weeks later and I think I'm over it. Try, but you must want to try - That is the first step. (and personally, I would say go cold turkey, don't cut down, just cut it out - less painful that way. [/QUOTE]
