This is true. I went vegan in October and feel loads better. I was told to test my blood once a week! I don't test as often as I should. Fasting blood is ok

Thanks all. I know all the theory. I've done the whole denial thing so it's just a general drift

Hi... I'm a returner. After joining here years ago, I've sort of drifted and need to get back on track. Know this place gives amazing advice so hopefully I'll get sorted

Exactly, in the grander scheme of things, 8 weeks is nothing. Thanks again and will keep popping in :)

Thanks Daisy and Patch....nothing to lose indeed. I can't say I'm finding it easy and am having some massive cravings.....TGI at the metro centre was calling me earlier but it does pass so it can only get easier and just done my bloods and they're 4.8 so that's a definite motivator :D

Hi, I've not been on here for ages and decided to re-visit. I am well impressed with the results of all your hard work. So I am now into day 2 of the diet and finding it ok although I am sitting in an office full of people eating nice things and the smell is making my mouth water :) Thanks for...

Wooooo congratulations :D

Hope everyone had a great Christmas :D

Oh dear....I did wonder as she said her uncle was diabetic :lol: I am feeling guilty today after eating a pizza last night but it was very nice and my BG was 8 after so not too bad!!!

I feel guilty too everytime I even nibble something i shouldn't. I have a new boss and she offered me a biscuit to which my standard line is always "no thanks I'm diabetic"....well that was it....now everything I eat she has to look at, which is kind of nice but if I have a little slip she is...

I am jealous on so many levels, 1 that you live in Holland and 2 that you can leave the bread and just eat the fillings :lol: I survived the buffet by just not checking my blood sugar and ate carefully as I could although the chocolate cupcakes did get me a bit and after 2 I felt quite ill...

wow Peg that's good and not so good if you know what I mean. I have looked at the recipes in the book and have a craving for cheese cake so must try the recipe. I think there is a converter on line that tells you what a cup is in kgs. I am nearly back on the straight and narrow but off to a...

oooh so I may still not get to give it then. I am waiting for a reply but not had one yet. Think I might just turn up at the next local session and see what happens!! Will let you know :)
