I just wanted to pop on and say thanks to everyone for all the advice you gave me when I was first diagnosed. I've taken this really seriously and have kept to a strict diet and now exercise daily. I'm now down to 12 stone and have been steadily losing 2lbs a week but feel for the first time ever on a diet that I'm satisfied. I never used to eat breakfast and lunch and now I do. I eat really nice healthy filling meals and feel great for it. No more big sharing bags of crisps every night and bags of sweets and fizzy pop. It's all gone out the window. I actually feel it's a lifestyle change and am happy to keep on going with it.
My BG readings are staying in the normal range and I saw the podiatrist and had my eye screening today and everything was fine. I forgot my sunglasses though and realised as soon as I was outside afterwards you do need them. The sun was too bright for my eyes!
Reading on here I realise how lucky I am, I was given a monitor and have a good grasp of what to eat and what not to thanks to you guys. No wonder my BG was high with what I was eating and drinking!
I'm still getting mild tingling in my feet and hands but it's nothing compared to how it was and I can live with that. Oh and my liver is almost back to normal too! Had a test last week for that and the enzymes have drastically come down.
So thank you sooooooooooo much everyone.
