Gliclazide and me - good news.

Hi all. As a new member, I was Really grateful for advice and empathy over my BG testing errors a few weeks back. Delighted to report entering 2018 with much improved results. Gliclazide seems to be working and I’ve gone from high twenties to single figures mostly. But I mainly want to share the benefits of the food diary my doc insisted on to go alongside the daily tests. I’ve done this before for Weightwatchers and failed miserably but when your life depends on it you make more effort don’t you? Anyway, when the reading is higher I’ve been able to see why each time and, folks, it really works! Without paying a penny to Weightwatchers or Slimming World (dread to think of the money I’ve wasted with them in the past!) I have gently reshaped my general diet, cut back drastically on the wine, and taken off 12lbs to date in the process! Whoopee! Still got two stones to remove but it’s a work in progress. Have also started Tai Chi, which helps the mood along. Have to go the Diabetic Clinic on 30th Jan and am actually looking forward to it. Still miss my baked spuds though ..... Thanks forum, for you help along the way. Les.
