[QUOTE="brooker, post: 2223845, member: 519872"] Hi, I'm male. I've had Diabetes Type 2 for 20 years, my current reading after fasting is 6.8, without trying too hard. I was obese when I got my Diabetes and the diet I eat now, is a daily thing, each mealtime, with a few exceptions. Eating just my diet alone, I have shed my weight down to 98kg where my doctor recommends 97kg as being ideal. I am a couch potato and I rarely exercise, except to go shopping every few days and nothing else. I eat shaved (cooked) roast beef, which I buy from my local deli, I buy 1kg at a time and keep it cool in my fridge.. I don't have many real teeth left in my head and shaved meat is a lot easier to eat, with or without dentures. I have 1 apple a day. I buy bags of frozen vegetables. Every morning, I put 1 apple in my blender and reduce it, flesh, skin and all to liquid. Then I top up the blender with fresh, uncooked greens, usually the type where there is a mixture of green vegetables, carrots, broccoli or other "good" vegetables in the frozen, bulk bag I purchase and blend that as well. I drink the mix, after I have eaten my meat and before I take my medication. Lunch and tea, the same, however with tap water instead of an apple. Once you get into the routine it is easy to continue with it. The 3 meals cost roughly $5 each "meal". You can eat as many greens as you like, to top up. No salt, sugar, alcohol, smoking, chocolate, cake, rice, potatoes and all the good things in life - gone for good. Your Diabetes count will drop as will your weight, without doing anything much else. It is really a choice, life that is - do you want to live to a ripe old age with your Diabetes in check, or not. Nothing good is free, it all comes at a price!! I thought I would be dead by 65 - I'm 73 now and life, looking back, passed in a flash. I don't want to die any time soon, nor, do I want to end up in a home for the elderly, when I can't look after myself anymore, so I'll avoid that like the plague, should I live that long......um 90's perhaps? We only have one life and we are a long time dead, so time enough then to wonder what we might have done differently. Last advice: Don't make the mistake which kills you through inattention to what is happening around you - it can only take 1 second. I brought up 5 kids over 2 marriages and only 2 survive, one in each family. I sometimes wonder if it was worth being a stepfather for such a small return. [/QUOTE]
