Hello,


I thought I would introduce myself as I am new to forum. My name is Keith I’m Cornish but living in Hertfordshire 68 years young. I was diagnosed with type 2 in December 2000.

Which is treated with Netaglanide and Metformin, initially every thing was fine and I admit I did not take it seriously as it seemed to be under control. I had a desk job (now retired), I enjoyed walking holidays and did plenty of walking when I first retired somewhere between 10 and 15 miles 2 to 3 times a week up until 2 years ago when I suffered with policemans heel and was that painful! Since then control has gone out of the window.


So thought its about time I started taking this seriously, I joined this forum to see what I could learn and found that its not only cutting sugar from diet but must also reduce carbs. So it’s a whole new learning curve for me. Not sure what or if any other information is required.
 
Hello and welcome to the forum from another type 2 in Hertfordshire.
You'll learn a lot here on the forum. Merry Christmas
 
Buying a meter and start testing my BG was the best thing I learnt from these forums,
 
Hello Southbeds. How are your blood sugars? Regards, Liam.
 
My Hba1c is now 31which good ,I have not tested for a month as all the food I eat now I know is OK ,having rejected food that spiked me, but will start testing in the new year
 
Hi Southbeds. That is a brilliant result = 31, mine is double that at 62!! Do you take any diabetic tablets at all? Regards, Liam.
 
No drugs and I have stopped take statins ,exercise now I just walking,everything is down to lurking and learning from the forum members,bacon eggs and mushroom fried in butter for breakfast,pork chops,broccoli and sweet potatoes with mayo for evening dinner, snacks in between,all with proper portion control ,not been hungry since starting LC/HF
 
Hi Southbeds. That is brilliant - made me feel hungry now!!. Liam.
