[QUOTE="sally and james, post: 604776, member: 93504"] OK, so I have been on here saying how well and quickly James brought his blood sugar under control and how easily he lost weight, so here goes: The motivation was: [B]If I don't do it, I will go blind. [/B] He was diagnosed with retinopathy. I'm also a fearsome old bat, who will shriek and rage at any slight hint of transgression from the rules. - It just isn't worth it! The method was low carb and frequent testing, to see how low the carbs had to go. James, and I (most of the time) [B]refuse to eat: most bread[/B] (a little pumpernickel is the exception), [B]pasta, potatoes[/B] (except a very occasional roasted new potato),[B] breakfast cereal[/B] (we have porridge on a very occasional basis), [B]rice[/B] (again very small portion occasionally), [B]cakes, sweets, biscuits, honey, most fruit, all fruit juices, beer, most white wine, sugary spirits and anything else which contains sugar.[/B] As a result of this diet, weight fell off both of us, simple as that, I'm afraid. The motivation to continue is that we are both slim, well, active, wide awake and complications seem to be under control. James upped his exercise and got help with improving gym routines and techniques. We are enjoying life, more than we have for years. Do ask any questions you need to. Can you tell us [U]what you have actually been doing[/U] to try and control your bs? Don't give up yet! Sally [/QUOTE]
