[QUOTE="Dakkobear, post: 1391248, member: 380535"] thanks to everyone who replied. I am glad to have somewhere to go where folk are so kind and supportive. [USER=21149]@Daibell[/USER] my bmi is in the 30s so definitely fat. The GP said to start with this tablet to see if my insulin could be boosted then it would be changed. Does that make sense? [USER=47277]@BarbaraG[/USER] I thought I'd need to check it regularly but she definitely said not to. She also said to see dietician before dealing with diet but that appointment isn't until April and I'd ideally not want to make it worse before then. I'm sure this is not as confusing as it all appears. Of course I'm sure all the food I love will be on the no go list and that will be hard but given the choice of pasta or diabetes I'll forego the pasta. I don't eat or drink a huge amount of sugary things. I do drink a lot of Pepsi max which is sugar free but are the sweeteners in it OK? I know there are a lot of hidden sugars in foods though and I do eat potatoes and pasta and rice rather than biscuits and cakes. I'd already cut back on bread, I eat two slices for breakfast and that's it. I'm probably eating more healthily now than I ever have. I've lost 3.5 stones in just over a year and it saddens me that despite this I still have diabetes and at least some of the weight loss is down to this and not healthy. Still onwards and upwards, it's a new day. [/QUOTE]
