Hi @miszu - well done, what a great post, really cheered me up!

Fantastic result, well done for all your efforts - keep it going!

You're really up for this - hope all goes well for you!

Hi @Littletenderness I too find snacks tricky and tend to default to unsalted nuts, greek yogurt, eggs, cheese or cooked meats - not very inspiring, not sweet but keeps me going without effect on BS. Hope you find a way, I'm sure others will come along with better suggestions - good luck.

A bit of play to go along with the work - well done!

Great progress - well done!

Done it

Good for you Kirsty - low carb diet and increased exercise helped me a lot. Stick at it and keep us posted on your progress.

Since T2 diagnosis coffee has become my substitute for various less healthy drinking and eating habits and has not caused a problem in relation to either weight or BS levels - however, we are, as they say, all different .... and thank God for that.
