Had my first round of bloods since my diagnosis of type 2 in April this year. HBA1C will be next month. Three results through. Liver and Kidney function normal and my cholesterol down from 7.0 to 3.8. Extremely pleased with that. Let's hope the HBA1C is just as good. Was feeling a little fed...

When counting Carbs do I look at the total Carbohydrates or carbohydrates of which sugars? Eating 1500 calories per day and somewhere in the region of 120g Carbohydrates but not sure if I am counting the carbs properly. Doing something right as I have now lost 9lbs in 7 days. M...
