@ashbash28 Since June i've tried to maintain a fairly nomal lifestle and these are my obsevations on takeaways. Curries as long as you don't have rice (try cauliflower riceit's ok) or bread didn't do me any harm , also kebabs with salad , again no bread ( tried a nan last week and BG went sky...

Hi Ashbash today I posted my results, less than 6 months of being diagnose , my bg is now in the normal range and has been for 2 months. I too was at my wits end, a lot older than you, 66 , years of overeating and no excercise finally caught up with me. Don't despair, you can get it back to...

Thank you !! I appreciate your kind words

Well Done !!!!! Great result

I know just how you feel, fantastic result !

I've got a pair of 36 " jeans secured tightly with a belt and some xxl tops :-) 32 " waist now, not been that size since I was 30

Right , off out now to buy some clothes that fit. One of the downsides of losing weight , you have to spend money on new clothes pah !!!

Thanks, but I won't go daft , don't think I could now anyway , if I wanted to. I know what the outcome is

I think I got obsessive at one point, I really had to try hard not to test, Now I know what causes problems I test about 2 or 3 times a day only

I thought it, the libre, would be ideal way of keeping track over xmmas Few weeks ago I went out with some friends and at first I was not going to go but then deceided to go and enjoy myself. Before I went did my bg and it was 5.7 , I met them and had my first pint of beer in 4 months and it...

Oh I forgot, Dr said my HDl was now 1.9 ( up from 1) and my LDL down to 3.5 from 5.5, he said obviously the statins are working ( prescribed them for me in June ) didn't have the heart to tell him I've not taken any :-)

He, my GP, been very supportive of my regime, he knew no matter what he said I would carry on regardless, so he's encouraged me. He was a first anti testing saying I would be come obsessive and of course he is correct on that score, I'm going to back off a little , honest. I do understand why...

last June my Hba1c came back 95 and I was 17.5 st . Two months ago Hba1c was 36 and I was just over 14 stone, the doctor was very pleased and said he wanted some more tests just before xmas to make sure it wasn't a fluke. Today Hba1c 34 and now 13.5 stone. Dr has just saidkeep it up and see...

If something is going to make me fall of the wagon , so to speak, it's minced pies. My wife bought a box of 6 the other day, it was murder watching them disappear one by one. Just a look at the number of carbs in each one put me off

Luckily I can eat most fruits without to much of a problem, bread, pasta, cakes, shredded wheat on the other hand send my numbers into double figures or at least they used to, not had any for 5 months

That made me laugh !!!!!! Teacakes are certainly not back on the menu but it's nice to know if needs be. Now mince pies, fingers crossed. I used to love minced pies, but I'm not tempted......much. The colonoscopy went well nothing found, mainly an old man's MOT but it was the blood test pre op...

Thanks for the replies. Yes it was a teacake with raisins in, lots of them and tbh the spike didn't really bother me especially as it was down to 6 after another hour. I do a lot of driving, so I'm quite careful not to have a low BG before starting out. I had a colonoscopy a few weeks back and...

On Saturday I did my blood sugar upon waking and it was 5.2, I was going to drive 200 miles in a few hours, so bearing in mind the DVLA's recommendation of not driving with a BG of less than 5, I decided to up my BG. Anyway my better half had just made herself a toasted teacake and the smell was...

Congratulations, I've had similar results myself last week and I know how good you feel, It's terriffic !!!!

Today was a milestone for me less than 6 months ago I was diagnosed with diabetes, hha1c of 95 and 112 kilos, now hba1c of 35 and 89 kilos ( need to lose anothe few kilos ). I could not have achived this if I was not self testing. I , like you was told to watch my diet and go easy on the carbs...
