    Wow. Amazing! Fantastically well done! Can I ask, did you only concentrate on carbs or did you do some calorie counting too? [emoji4]

    Am I crazy?

    Hey, Was it just this you did or did you up exercise/introduce fasting to your regime as well? That’s one impressive drop!!

    Struggling to get to grips with T2

    Haha! I bloody love doughnuts! I think I always will…[emoji51] Lots of good advice here: don’t try it all at once. I would add to that not to let perfection get in the way of progress. Little bits here and there will all add up. I just went that little bit longer with the dog. I had a slice of...

    Struggling to get to grips with T2

    Wow. You’ve just described ME. I love food - obsessively so and always feel like I deserve it! I don’t suffer with *any* guilt after overeating, just feel a bit full… Although I have noticed as of late that nothing seems to really satisfy me. A trip to the supermarket means two doughnuts in...

    Type 2 Metformin and rosacea

    Hi, Been on Metformin for over five years now and since about 18 months ago, I’ve started developing what seems like rosacea on my cheeks. I’d never connected the two but after a bit of digging online it seems there are links. Just wondering if anyone else has had experience with it? TIA

    Newly Diagnosed.

    Evening, Your response provides a bit of a paradox as watermelon and apple both contain carbs; in fact a wedge of a big melon will provide you with about 20 grams of carbs, in which case you’re definitely consuming carbohydrates... For sustainable weight loss and reduction in blood sugars...

    Newly diagnosed 6mth hba1c test

    Fantastic. That’s a lot of weight you’ve lost, even for six months! I agree, this forum is great. I’ve learnt so much. I’m counting carbs too just feel I’m losing weight so slowly. Anyway, like you said, it’s about bringing the sugar levels down and then waiting for fewer cravings and weight...

    Daily blood sugars

    Well, I’m generally coming in at about 1800 cals a day. I don’t feel deprived and that’s why I think I may just be able to sustain it. The ‘marathon’ in my name was chosen the day after I walked my second Moonwalk marathon in London. Haha. I walked it mega slowly all whilst being very very...
