Happy birthday

Hi Helen, I too am struggling with anxiety and depression at being type 2 at such a relatively young age. I was diagnosed at age 35. I am now 46 and still struggle to come to terms with it. Suffering with the consequences of high sugar at the moment x

ok - reduced lantus last night to 20u, FBG 5.6 - Day 17

Nope apparently not supposed to lose weight so fast, wish I hadn't said anything now!!

So far 11 pounds

No support from her today that's for sure!!

thank you for this it was like u read my mind!!

I have just started week 3, I have been using exante shakes etc, 3 a day and a salad at night, I sometimes swap a shake for some egg or chicken and salad, I just want to give myself the best possible chance of making a difference to my health. all advice gratefully received!

I have been reading some of your posts and hope to be able to get more positive as time goes on, thanks for the advice x

Thank you, my husband and daughter have said the same, so I will carry on on my own, feel so very down at the moment and struggling badly even after all these years of diagnosis. I don't think I want to go through that conversation with another doctor in a hurry left the place an emotional wreck...

Well as I suspected, been to see doc who has told me to stop this 'ridiculous' diet straight away as it's dangerous! now is busy arranging a hundred different appointments witch dietician, nurses etc just the thing that pushed me to this diet in the first place- sick of going to appointment...

Hi @Pipp - can you tell me how you were able to reduce meds while on the diet first time around?

Thank you so so much!! These complications I am getting at my age are really frightening, so this has given me a little more hope.

I'm not going to give up at least I won't say I wish I had a go at it when I had the chance, just wish I didn't keep getting things going wrong! Stressed to the hilt!!

day 3, sugar is up today for some reason, I don't feel hungry but feel quite down, just found out I have to see an eye specialist after my retinopathy screen, so feel like I have definitely left it too late. have also had some negative comments along the lines of don't waste your time after 10...

Day 2, morning sugar 6. 2- woop woop decreased insulin in half last night - now 30 Units hoping to drop januvia in the next week followed by gliclizide if results continue. Feeling determined!!

Thank you have been so down these last few months and sometimes feel future looks so bleak so I am going to grasp at this. Medical appointment after appointment has been draining to say the least!

Thanks for replies I really want to do diet as I am beginning to get complications, neuropathy and eye problems. Feel like life is getting out of my control

Thanks, I will do, and I will keep a close eye on blood. I am hoping for a miracle but I also realise it might be too little too late, but decided that wasn't a good reason not to try. please give me as much advice as you think, much appreciated x
