[QUOTE="AndyH1, post: 501728, member: 95716"] Hi Shelley, Syd raises a really good point about the exercise. You don't mention any exercise in your original post. It is a very good way to lower levels. For years I was med free, my care team, called it diet controlled, but I always said I was exercise controlled. A couple of months ago I tested one morning and got a reading of 22mmol/l, so a jumped on the bike, gave it some welly for an hour, in that hour it dropped to below 10 (since then I've been put on meds). If you can find some time to include exercise in your daily routine I'm sure it would help. Lots of people on here have found that. you don't have to swim the channel before lunch or run a marathon before dinner. Even a brisk walk would help, but if you find a form of exercise that you enjoy, and raises your heart rate above normal and do it for, say half an hour day, I'm sure it would help. it would also help your weight loss. If you're self conscious about exercising in public you could buy a cheap exercise bike/rower/treadmill on fleabay and start indoors (that's what I did). Mind you, if you did want to take your exercise further and start swimming, running, cycling etc, there is plenty of support/advice on here. Some of us even enjoy our sports :D. Andy [/QUOTE]
