[QUOTE="Anatoli15, post: 498755, member: 80722"] I have had pains in both feet for three years and only last year I was told I was diabetic - T2. I had in fact peripheral neuropathy. I was invited to spend a day with the Desmond Education session. I found this very instructive and learned a lot regarding diets. They agreed that with my very plain eating habits, there was very little that I needed to change. Now I come to the theme that is bothering people. The Desmond team recommended that we all obtained a metre to monitor our blood/sugar. They said this was the only way that we could keep an eye on our condition. From that moment I tested just once a week and managed to do this at ruffly the same time each week. Some time later I had to see my doc on another problem and mentioned that I was using a metre. She was horrified and said she would contact the Desmond people to complain strongly that they should definitely not be advising folk to be testing at home. I ask - what are we supposed to do ??? I ignored the doctor and continue testing weekly. I know I should be exercising to lose weight but walking is out of the question due to my painful feet. I have a Nintendo Wii machine and Wii Fit Plus and have a routine comprising of nineteen exercises that take just thirty minutes to complete. I have to sit down frequently to ease me feet. Any ideas how else I can lose weight? By the way, in the fifteen months that I have been testing my readings have ranged from 5.4 to 9.4.
