[QUOTE="Ken A A, post: 1727149, member: 470462"] I am Ken, I live in Horsforth Leeds with my wife, two kids, three dogs and a cat. Following some problems a visit or two to the doc confirmed that I have type 2 diabetes. I was 19st three years ago and am now 16.5st and falling. Improvement through diet alone did not work so I take 2x50mg of metformin on a daily basis. I am getting back to being more active following a shoulder operation so will be getting out more on my Triumph Bonneville America, going fishing and generally enjoying life again. I decided a couple of weeks ago to go on a low carb ketosis diet and have lost 7lb so far. I have had virtually no carbs and no sugar at all yet when I replaced the batteries in my blood glucose reader (admittedly shortly after a meal) my level was 13.4! It is the first reading I have taken for some time but was hoping it would be less. Anyway, it's good to be here and I hope to learn how to better handle this condition. [/QUOTE]
