[QUOTE="dawnmc, post: 324314, member: 40576"] How long are you considered 'new'? I consider myself new, I was diagnosed in Jan of this year. I'm 11 and a half stone, 5ft 7. Not particularly overweight, but I'm a bit of an apple shape - hence I think diabetic. I was vegetarian for 5 years before diagnosis. Healthy but high carb. On diagnsis I was 11.something, now 7.1 not a huge drop but a drop nontheless. I haven't lost weight, but I'm sure I could if I exercised more. I don't see how anyone can fault what people do to control their diabetes, what I do object to is people coming on here and stating - (spouting) stuff they appear to have very little experience of. And in the process denigrating us Type 2's as sloths. I'm also damned sure that if I had followed the NHS line I would be alot sicker. I was told to eat what I had always eaten, but less of it. For gods sake I don't et that much. Never have. I asked my nurse and dietician that if I carried on eating what I had and it gave me diabetes, what was going to change. I now know the answer - it would be to take medication, because its seen as a progressive disease. My last Hb1 thing was 7.0 so down a little bit more. How can a T1 who can inject to cover what they eat possibly know what a T2 can eat and vice versa. [/QUOTE]
