Some years ago whilst on holiday, I had a Chinese meal with a couple of glasses of wine, just a couple. My bloods shot to 26! Everything started drifting, major woo woo, the next day I passed the restaurant as they were taking delivery of the largest container of lyles syrup (treacle) that I had...

It's moments like this that I feel like a tadpole in a giant lake, lol

Thanks Glen, What a state of affairs we find ourselves in! I am delighted that you are on the right road.

Thank you daisy,

Thank you,

If you stop all pastries including apple cake lol, get rid of bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, all root veg and starchy foods like mushy peas, your weight will steadily drop, your sugars will fall, and with your doctors advice, you will probably be able to drop gliclizide in the near future.

Asked my doctor for this end of October, awaiting the letter. Thanks.
