Oh, no I think you've misunderstood. We did have a discussion about how I did it, but the truth is that I did have a massive chocolate binge in February and March which is undoubtedly what tipped me over the edge as I just happened to have a blood test right at the end of the binge. I had...

Well, sorry for being away for so long, but I had my 3-month review at the end of July - and I have REVERSED my diagnosis!! In 3 months!! The nurse wanted to know how I did it - I said that maybe I wasn't really diabetic in the first place!! So I reduced my sugar level to 5.2. I asked about...

Yes, I am going to have it repaired (according to the ultrasound I had in January it's already quite big), but I needed to get our holiday out of the way before I could go onto a waiting list. That said, I have no idea how long I'm likely to be on a list, as the NHS is still so far behind due...

The surgery cancelled my appointment and I rescheduled for the first one they could fit me in - late Monday afternoon. So I'm subjected to a further 4 days of totalling working in the dark not knowing what I should and shouldn't be doing! The good news, however, is that I have lost 6lbs since...

Reading your signature I have noted your health prolems. I, too, have osteoarthritis which means I can't walk or run for exercise. In fact, that coupled with an umbilical hernia means I can't walk around much at all. I also have low-level asthma, but what screwed me up more than anything...

The last couple of days I've not gone above 150g carbs, and I've been fine hunger-wise - apart from feeling a bit clammy after humping washing around when I first got up and hadn't had anything to eat yet. So, as long as I keep this up then it's better, right? I have also dropped 4lb since...

Yeah, but we all know Hobbits had a second breakfast on top of everything else! ROFL I rarely eat breakfast - but my mum says I must eat regularly now.

The doc told me that the level should be between 48 and 52. Her words ... She was the one who told me 250g as well - perhaps it's all to do with the fact I'm only a little over. I do have very few of the normal symptoms though - I'm not excessively thirsty, I don't drink a lot (in fact, I...

Thanks for the info so far, guys. So far I've had a lot of contradictory info from various sources, so I'm not really much more informed than before. The doctor was the one who told me I should stick to 250g of carbs a day, but obviously we'll see what the nurse tells me. But I checked the...

I am a third generation type 2er, with my maternal grandfather, then my mum, then all three of my brothers all contracting it. I have just succumbed myself, at the age of 61, having been pre-diabetic for what must be 10 years! Anyway, I had my blood test just before leaving for our 10-day...
