Your doing really well Bob, i am looking fwd to your weigh in, which is probably a bit strange, because i don't know you, but i am impressed you are almost off the drugs. My diabtetic consultant told me Glicazide makes you gain weight, so i bet you really see a difference next week as well. I...

@Leapoffaith - I'm not a Dr, so feel free to ignore me, but if you are talking about stopping insulin and metformin, I'd at least talk to your Dr about it. Some may be useless when it comes to diabetes, but others seem supportive and helpful with this diet. I was told to go on gliclizide as...

Thanks for all your help Bob, You have been a star . I have stopped taking metformin, i can't start the diet until Monday when i have finished the anti biotics, i really do have to eat with them or i will feel really sick or even be sick, which is counter productive, so best to start on the...

Hi Patch, I am following your progress with interest, can i ask if you are still taking your medication, or have you stopped your meds while you are on the diet, i am asking because i am thinking of doing this diet, but when i lost a stone with slimming world recently, i had nightmares with...

Thank you Viv, that was really helpful, I expect i really need to give it my best shot. i really can't get my diet any better than it is, i am sure some mite find ways to tweek it but it is pretty good, and the best i can do, so seems like no place else to go but the pills. Sorry for that...

Hi Viv you put in your last post you are anti statin, is there a reason for that, i am only asking because i have been put on statins. My colestral was 10 then 9. the doctor told me i would never get it down by myself no matter what i do. I am not obese by the way, so i don't know why it's so...
