I think it’s simply criminal that the NHS don’t advocate low carb eating and self monitoring. I luckily stumbled on this forum the night I was diagnosed, in a shell shocked state. I’m so glad I did, as in the six months since diagnosis I’ve lost over 4 stone in weight and got my HbA1c down from 70 to 36. God knows where I’d be if I hadn’t found all these lovely people and their advice, eating the Eatwell Plate and increasing my drug intake and HbA1c results no doubt. I turned my negative emotions of diagnosis into a determination to improve my future. I try to educate people, not in a pushy way but if the subject comes up I tell them my low carb tale. I hope you can make similar achievements and reduce your future health risks too.PS I hate mushy peas! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite40" alt=":hungover:" title="Hungover    :hungover:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":hungover:" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
