Eat low carb and go for lots of walks. That seems to be the key :) May 15, 2017

  One month since I discovered I have diabetes. A new way of eating, lots of walking and medication - my 7 day average is down to 5.6mmol/L :)

    Thank you - Certainly less hungry - looking back over the winter I had really been eating a lot - snacking a lot all evening
