[QUOTE="RosB, post: 2437668, member: 546280"] Thank you all for your replies. It's a great relief to be able to get help from people who KNOW what they're talking about!! We didn't know about the Dawn Phenomenon, or the 1.6/2mmol/l after meals. We've just been going on the "not over 8.5" advice. I will tell him he's on the right track, thanks to the advice from this forum, you have both our Wholehearted Thanks. :) Hubby isn't really a sweets kind of guy. Pastry is what he sometimes misses. I'm the sweets/cake/bread fiend out of us :oops: Tbh I've been obese for almost 30 years (I'm 47) due to ill physical and mental health and it broke my heart when I found out hubby was diabetic. I knew I'd shortly follow him if I didn't change. But all the info I was ever given was Low Fat, Low fat. Now I discover that the only thing it caused me to lose was my gallbladder! I'm so angry about it. The NHS/doctors ignored my Bipolar for 10 years, saying it was Post Natal Depression because I was having our 3 kids during that time. :mad: Anyway, we're slowly getting used to the revelation that Fat is our Friend, he's lost 1 stone and I've lost 2, and tonight I'm cooking my first ever stir fry (keto, duck). :happy: [/QUOTE]
