[QUOTE="Bec in Brighton, post: 2072626, member: 477796"] Thanks so much for your message Resurgam. You're an inspiration. I'm feeling the need for some encouragement. I'm generally doing really well; look much better; feel so much better; have lost a stone and am running in a way I never thought I could and I am even really enjoying my new diet (most days). But I have eating issues and have yet to find a way to stop myself from overeating whenever I'm stressed or bored. I guess I might need some additional help with that. I am amazed by the way many of you have just dropped your levels so quickly. I want to do that too but don't seem to be able to do it and I think it's because of the quantity of what I eat. So how do you manage to count the carbs to get them down so low? Do you measure everything you eat? That just seems to be such a faff. I am using MyFitness Pal but I guess it is pretty rough. I am often under 100gms but rarely under 40gms. I'm averaging around 128 {7.1} and really want to get down to the 5s. The more I test, the more I understand what I can tolerate but I think I need to get much more rigorous with it. But how do you fit that into life?! I'm giving myself time to focus on this, as it is so important but all the other stuff is being to clammer for my attention and I am missing being care free about going out. But I am determined. I saw my nurse two weeks ago and she said to try for another 3 months without Metformin as she could see the improvement in the past 3 months. But will Metformin speed it up. The nurse wasn't able to tell me if Metformin would bring my levels down lower than a diet and exercise could. I am really hoping I can get to at least 48 by then. [/QUOTE]
