Thank you so much for your replies - that makes me feel so much better. I do know that I'm not going to keep being naughty because the thought of complications really scares me and now I am back at work I am back in the old routine. I don't test myself. They are the figures at the start (8.3...

I was diagnosed with Type 2 in April 2012. I was "good" for the remainder of 2012. My levels dropped from 8.3 to 46/47. I am not on medication yet. I have a small problem with one eye that they aren't too worried about at the moment, which might have been caused because my levels dropped...

Thanks for the replies. Useful as always. Previously I was addicted to Longley Park cottage cheese, which was a big help but my local Sainsburys stopped selling it, which is why I have converted to goats cheese at lunchtime. Pre diabetes I would have had a sandwich or 4 muffins - so a big...

Thank you for all the replies. I am going to continue with the exercise and diet (it has worked so far, partly because I have been reducing the carbs because of what you have all said). Not counting but reduced what I used to eat. Given up bread, which has made a huge difference. Living by...

Sorry - posted this twice

I was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic at the end of April with a fasting blood test of 8.3. The dr said I did not need another test to confirm it (she was not happy because I had not been taking my blood pressure tablets, which I am now). I have been reading about the travel insurance topic...
