Thank you Prem51. It is good to get feedback and the pleasant reactions from the doctors and medical team. Thanks Brunneria. Sadly many with Diabetes battle against their own medical teams whether it's because of diet or being judged wrongly. I'm more than pleased that our own doctors and staff...

It's not a big deal for anyone else but I wanted to share what one of our doctors said to me yesterday. I had to go to have an abscess treated and while I was there I thought I'd ask him if I was the only person who'd reversed Type 2 Diabetes at our particular surgery. He said I wasn't and that...

That made me giggle. I would prefer Michael Weatherly though :playful::playful: Thanks Goonergal. I'm glad I posted it especially if it helps to inspire others along with everyone's posts here :)

Thanks DCUK and yes I do feel amazing. I absolutely love feeling like this. I love clothes shopping again because I find my sizes are normally always there and the old me is back. I love it. Thanks shelley, that is a huge compliment. I was always lithe in build but the cravings took over and...

Thanks Mauza and well done to you too. You're choosing a sensible diet even though you're having to inject and it shows that it must be beneficial to you. I lost my weight at one or two pounds a week at first but then it gradually slows down the less you have to lose. You're doing brilliantly...

A lovely member on here give me the courage to show pictures of me before and after my weight loss. To reverse the Diabetes means the World to me. In the second one I was very big..19 stone, maybe a little more and in the first one I had lost about 2 stone at that point. The third picture was...

It certainly is ickihun. Thank you xx:)

When I began my Diabetes journey, I was met with similar scenarios Sulasailor as it was more of a case of eating less with no mention of removing carbs and beginning the medication. I've come to the realisation that the medical field NEED to see cases such as ours and they must listen to what we...

Thanks leyburnhealeyman and congratulations on your weight loss and what you have achieved and are doing at the ripe young age of 74. Many times when someone gets older they "can't see the point of" improving their health and lives overall but you've shown it can be done. I'm worn out just...

Thanks Phoenix. Don't knock your own weight loss and see it as feeble. I was extremely overweight and I had no choice than to lose it but it doesn't make anyone else's achievement any the less amazing. If anything you acted sooner and didn't allow yourself to get to where I was and that is...

Thanks Rachox and congratulations on your own success and 6 stone weight loss is fantastic:) The doctor did say that they like the Hba1c, for a non-diabetic, to be in the 30 to 40 range so mine is a tad lower. Please let us know what your GP says. It's now made me want to ask again. In all...

Thanks Brunneria. It was lovely again to be appreciated for what I've done. I think at the back of their minds, they must sometimes think of all the money that has been saved by someone like me doing this without medical intervention or costly treatments. I like to think that I'm saving the NHS...

Thanks bulkbiker and I agree with you regarding more medical teams listening to us. It's imperative that doctors and all concerned take the patient into consideration because what they say can make a huge difference. It's the best way to further their own knowledge and improve treatments, etc...

I went to the Hospital today for an appointment in the Diabetes And Endocrinology department concerning my very low blood reading a few months ago. I saw the nurse at first who took my weight, height, blood pressure and my waist measurement. After this, I saw a doctor who works with the...

The reading Guzzler was 2.2 and that's why our doctor has referred me to the Diabetic Clinic. Every other result was okay.

Thanks David. No, I wasn't on anything. I'd already been off the medication for a while. It wasn't long after I changed my eating habits and started losing the weight that all my Diabetic medication became unnecessary.

I'm not quite sure where to put this thread but it's just an update on my recent blood glucose results. I saw our doctor today who also deals with the Diabetes cases at our surgery. He's referred me to a Diabetic Clinic as he just wants to be sure because of the low reading. I'm happy with that...

It could be Bryce, although before lunch for the last few days, I've been scoring 3.8. Hopefully that is because I'm hungry though but I will keep an eye on it. Thank you.

This has opened my eyes a lot Lamont and anyone who needs good advice shall be directed to this forum. The vast majority of people believe that it's always weight and sugars that cause Type 2 but it isn't. One of our sons doesn't 'get it' because he's built athletically and has an amazing...

I got a phone call from the nurse a few hours ago. The doctor has said to leave my blood result with him. She wasn't sure if he would contact her or me so beyond that I'm still not sure what they want to do. My reading before dinner was 3.9 so just in the normal range. I will have to test quite...
