Absolutely brilliant! Well done :)

Margi it's well documented, proven medically to sometimes reverse type 2 diabetes. Google it yes.

The thing is, it's hard enough to cope with a change in diet without doing away with the one or two things you desperately need and in my early 70s, it woukld be impossible to revamp my taste buds! I think I'll have to factor in a milk allowance - can drink less tea but still real rea. Thanks...

I take a lot of milk in tea, and I drink a lot of tea. Have to change that habit :(

Do grow loads of mint yes, will try different teas and see how I get on. Thanks everybody!

I can take liquorice tea, that's an idea. And covid has a lot to answer for..

I'd find it too hard to change now, at my age Mrs A2. But yes Rachox that's a wee bit too much... this is not going to be easy is it!!

Trying to follow the 800 cal BS diet, but I cannot live without milk in my tea. Ordinary proper real milk, not almond or oat or any of that. How much milk can I allow per day without starving myself? Is half a pint ok and how many cals is that? TY!

TY! will go and look for threads on it now.

Health centre was on the phone says husband's diabetes has got worse, reeled off a lot of numbers, and told him he should start on something called "empaglizine" he says. He didn't pick her up, anybody know what this is so I can google it?

I'll try the jug thing first, ta HSSS

I'm very confused re milk in tea. I drink a lot of tea and find it hard to judge how many carbs a day that gives me.

I've had ME for over twenty years and now they think I might have steroid induced diabetes. I have to say that nothing at all has helped me with the constant awful exhaustion. Just as somebody further up says, live with it. :(

Poor husband 13 !

If I stop taking the steroids I'd be dead in a week, so there's not a lot of options ::)
