[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 710518, Mr B has been to do his final bits of Christmas shopping. He’s sniggering about the contents of one particular bag, so I can’t wait to see what’s in there!! (Perhaps I should be feeling a bit nervous[/QUOTE]
You MUST tell us what it is when you find out ;):eek:
 
Good grief, another 5 pages! 5.8 again - 4th day running now.

Finished work for the holidays now, on train back home (free wifi now on First Great Western, woo hoo - that's me not the train, but I'm in the quiet coach so it's just in my head). Might have to do a couple of days though at some point, projects never sleep :(

Happy Holidays Rod. Or should I call you Mr. Consistency. Let's hope it comes down again now you are on holiday.

Thanks for the welcome Sable Jan.

I was diagnosed last Thursday 11/12/14 by my GP after a fasted BG test at the surgery of 11.5. After discovering this forum, I ordered a Codefree meter and accessories.

At 92kg, I am ashamed to say that I'm about 3 stones overweight. I took control of my diet immediately, strict control of carbs and cut out all snacking, just three low-carb (or no carb) meals per day. I've twice had a couple of glasses of red wine.

I was put on 1 x 500mg Metformin, rising to 2 x 500mg yesterday.

My morning (fasted) self tests since my meter arrived are:

Tue 16 Dec - 12.1
Wed 17 Dec - 10.8
Thu 18 Dec - 10.3
Fri 19 Dec - 8.6

Is this too good to be true? I haven't weighed myself yet, but I've definitely lost weight. I'm almost scared to test tomorrow am in case it goes back up!

Couldn't find xanthan gum in our Sainsbury's so ordered some on eBay. Dearer for same size but next up is a lot less relatively speaking. Thanks :-):-) whoever suggested it, can't recall and too many posts to scroll back thru on app.

Well the only thing that I have done differently this week consistently is have that half glass of juiced BITTER GOURD. My number after my walk this morning is 4.6. :D

Yesterday had to get a sandwich from Greggs before business meeting. TUNA CRUNCH brown bread I was only 6.2 after two hours.
Maybe it is a combination of everything, exercise, diet. accumulative sustained focus. I am NOT working out in a gym though. All I do is my two mile walk which has got brisker everyday as I have got fitter and stronger.

Thanks for all your support and guidance, legends members and management team. HURRAH!!
