I tend to eat more carbs than many on here in that I still eat bread, some cereals, reheated pasta, potatoes etc and my BS levels are between 4.7 and 5.8 and I'm still, albeit slowly, losing weight. We are all individuals and, as diabetes control is for life not just for Christmas, we need to find a way of doing it which we feel comfortable with and that we can cope with in the long term.
Yeah central London is small I can walk from st Paul's to the bottom of the strand on a good day with a few stopsI was discussing this with my wife just a little earlier - central London is actually smaller than you might think. My phone map app in walking mode indicated Euston Station to the northern end of the Strand is only about 1.3 miles on foot. Basically you walk in a straight line down Kingsway. I did it in 20 minutes each way (the phone suggested half an hour). I don't live in London, I was attending a business function and Euston Station is my usual route into London. I am now doing a lot more walking to meetings in the West End from Euston. I estimate that I am now walking over 20 miles a week more than I was before I was diagnosed and occasionally a lot more. One problem is that my shoes are now a tad loose because you lose fat off your feet as well.
Edit: I ought to add that last night's food wasn't low carb but I managed to avoid the bulk of the carby bits and had no pud. But I did have couple goes at the rather nice mashed potato and gravy...
Snap I am working today and tomorrow then off till Wednesday

Right knee replacement , they have cancelled on me twice and changed surgeon so this is third time lucky

Too much sleep? Were you catching up? I believe 7 - 8 hours sleep is optimal and more is as bad - if not worse - as less.
Sleep quality has a marked impact on life quality and also weight loss. Sleep is critical to the regulation of hormones.
