Well done, I too will have a little treat at Christmas, I think I will grunt horribly when I taste my first roast potato in months, and I won't care if I upset anyone else around the table because I have earned it ..... gone without , eliminated carbs ... all potatoes for months and have my BP under control, with no spikes when I eat. And then my morning readings let me down. I don't know how to control my liver when it dumps some time in the early hours, why won't it just cooperate and help me in my quest.... But no, it has its own agenda. I am due to see doctor in January and I am going to ask about metformin at bed time only and see his take on my unwilling liver. Once I get my morning bloods steady I can control the rest of the day if it is as simple as that
QUOTE="douglas99, post: 1339030, member: 38028"]I simply followed my doctor's advice, took the meds initially, followed my dietitian's advice, exercised hard, lost 5 stone overall, discussed my meds with my doctor at every stage, then decided between us, even though I had reversed my diabetes, and got all my BG, BMI, morning BG's, everything back into a normal range, to stay on minimum metformin.
I eat a mediterranean diet, but will be having a good christmas, and eating maybe a bit (a lot!) to excess without worrying.
But, that's me, and I believe diet, meds, BMI, exercise, lifestyle is all linked, and all important to beating diabetes, and everyone needs to find their way to have a really enjoyable christmas, and I hope we all do![/QUOTE]
