Really so well done, @ally1 . You've had such a struggle to get here, but I can't tell you how much I admire your determination and your ability to really stick with it.

Thank you. Over the last few months I have been taking a new anti pscotic, though at a low dose, because it's notions for putting weight on. Also the psych has said it also causes higher readings in diabetics. Between us, we have decided to see how it goes because the med is helping so much with my bipolar xx
 

Ally, when there are other conditions than diabetes in the mix, I'm sure sometimes it's about getting the balancing act about right. I can only say my gut feeling would be that if you are feeling better in yourself, mentally, you will be less stressed. Stress can unhelpful for our blood levels. so maybe that's part of the balance that's going well.

I wish you and yours a very happy festive period Ally, and all the best for 2017. Hopefully this positive improvement can be maintained and allow you to get on with your life. I'm really chuffed for you with those results.
 
Hi @ally1

I agree with @AndBreathe particularly regarding considering other health problems in the mix. I feel it is imperative to be feeling well mentally in order to tackle the other issues, especially where diet is concerned. I'm really pleased for you that some new medication is having good benefits. I'm sure it will make such a difference. You're clearly working very hard re diet/numbers and it's great to see the brilliant results.

Well done
 
Thank you
