I was 16st 4lbs on June 9th this year and today 14th August I am 13st 12lbs. In June my normal blood sugar reading in the morning was circa 7 - 7.5 - as was my HBA1C - this morning it was 4.6 and it hasn't been above 5.6 for over a month now. I eat less than 1000 calories a day. A typical day is: Breakfast - porridge made with water with nuts, seeds and cinnamon. Lunch - an orange or 1 or 2 other pieces of fruit. Afternoon snack - raw carrots or possibly 2 ryvitas with low fat soft cheese. Evening meal - chicken breast with salad or stir fried with vegetables. Dessert - bowl of mixed fruit with low fat Greek yoghurt. I have cut out almost all bread, potatoes, alcohol - except 3/4 pints on a Friday night with the TBC Club in the local pub (talking ******** club) No biscuits, cakes, pastries, sweets etc etc. Seems hard but in fact I have got used to it and when I reach my target of 13st I will slightly relax the regime. I am 70 yrs of age and was diagnosed 7 years ago. I also make a large pot of mixed vegetable soup which has been blended and if I relax on a lunchtime for instance and have a burger in a bun or similar (occasionally when I'm out with my son on my Harley!) I will just have a bowl of soup in the evening followed by the fruit. I have always liked my food but I can honestly say if you have the will power to stick to this for 2/3 months you will feel 100% better and who knows - perhaps your Type 2 has gone!</blockquote>
