[QUOTE="rhubarb73, post: 1859843, member: 478319"] Hello Terry. Welcome aboard. Right now I expect you are in a bit of a blur. I remember how it feels to get that diagnosis and then venture into this strange new world. Trust me, your life is about to get a whole lot better. Firstly I will tag [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] who will in the next couple of days post here for you a welcome pack of info for new members. I was a new member just over 3 months ago and I found it really useful. Today, having started a bit higher than you with a score of 66, I am already back in normal territory of 40. It can be done, and lots of T2's here have done it. Expect a consistent theme in their responses: - low carb, high fat diets - get a meter and test your blood before and after (2 hrs) meals - exercise a bit more than you have been - use this site, keep coming back, share your progress, ask lots of questions Having had heart disease you should consult with your GP before starting a new diet. But put simply, if you have been living with carbs on tap then switch off the tap. Take control. All the best sir. [/QUOTE]
