Thank you. I have my "diabetes education" at the hospital on 2nd of June so am looking forward to the lecture about eating pasta, rice, potatoes and bread. I'm sure they'll dispute my diet choices, despite the weight loss, the halved bs and the lowered cholestrol. Even when I explain that they send my bs into double figures.

Do you mean you have or haven't been eating pasta etc?
Just interested because when I started to gain weight after an accident 20 years ago, I was advised to base my diet on such carbs. Massive weight gain and diabetes followed. The only way I have solved that after losing much weight on Newcastle diet, which seems to have reversed diabetes, is to keep carbs to the absolute minimum. If I don't I start to gain weight and increase blood glucose levels. I don't advocate ignoring medical advice, but I think we sometimes have more knowledge about how our bodies respond to food and drugs and should be taken seriously. I guess you are confident enough to assert your opinion at the diabetes education session though, and from what you have posted it looks as though you will have achieved your goal weight and diabetes control by then.
Good luck
