Visited the diabetic nurse yesterday who gave me :D and :D ...... Although I am awaiting my HbA1c result I have managed to lose about 8 kg, my morning glucose values are perfectly fine - round about 5 in the morning. My BP gave me a huge grin: 120/68

The nurse would like me to stabilise my weight around the current level - 75kg. Question is how does one stop a diet? Simple but tricky. Nurse said that the body will stabilise itself - very true but at what level? I need to stabilise it at the current !

You take whatever you currently eat and add 150 kcals a day for the next week. Then you check if you have put on weight. If not, you add 150 kcal a day more during the next week. Rinse repeat. When you put on weight, you take away 75 kcals from that current level and then keep an eye on it.

Sussed.
