I shall do that thank you [emoji41]

It's great isn't it. When I look back over the last few years to how I felt and I took it as I was getting old to how I feel now it's shocking. Fantastic results for you as well. I'm hoping for a 45 in November just before my birthday so fingers crossed.

I had really bad side effects twitching fingers pains in my legs and feet and I got really confused on them but by just changing my diet introducing good fats and I take one omega 3 1000mg at night I have reduced all of the numbers to within the good diabetic range still on the high side a bit...

Thank you all, that's what I thought it's nice to read the good that can happen especially when your struggling and doubting yourself and I have had many of those moments over the last four months, and I probably will again.

I don't eat till around 11.00 as I can't stomach anything to early and then dinner around 5/6.00 but then I will probably have something 8.00ish and thinking about it not because I'm hungry or anything just out of habit.. so I can stop that.. Can't drink coffee horrible stuff lol .. but I am...

Ok thank you I shall take a closer more in depth look at my carbs and go back to using my meter.

I'm not overly worried about the cholesterol to be honest it's more about getting my bs levels down she's pretty good my nurse I always ask loads of questions and she does check with all my meds and side effects every time I see her so challenge is probably to strong a word.. I've had two...

Thank you, I was testing every meal as well but I haven't done in a while unless I try something new as I wasnt getting huge differences plus it was stressing me out working so hard and not seeing any change. Friends keep saying it's early days and I know this but it's hard to be patient. I...

Hi @Phuppetty_ I was diagnosed a few weeks ago and was given similar advice .. After weeks of floating around not knowing what I'm supposed to do I found this forum I made one post and found out so much more information than I could get from the nurse or work out online. I did receive a...
