[QUOTE="lifesway, post: 421756, member: 63980"] Try pepsi max gives a sweet taste although hubby says it tastes like a mixture of cough medicine and brake fluid lol, still he drinks it too and seems to enjoy it. I'm type 2 taking 2x500 morn and evening. I don't think I eat perfectly even though I'm supposed too but I have made changes to my diet and exercise each day, I lost 2 stone within 3 months at first although I did slip back to eating some of the bad stuff I'm stabalised now at 11 stone. If I concentrate perhaps I could lose more and be even better but it's one step at a time for me it's hard to change the habits of a lifetime. I avoid things like chocolate, biscuits pies and pastries eat fish and chicken with plenty of veggies and eat more regularly with an apple at dinner.I'm not perfect but it seems to be working for me and I allow myself odd straying moments from time to time.At diagnosing time they told me my bs was 13, I never ask what it is now when they do the tests as I prefer to live without the stress of it but I know its ok now as they told me I've stabalised now. When they first told me I had it I thought it was a death sentence but on here there are many people who've lived with it for years life is not over yet far from it! take heart and try not to worry too much.
