[QUOTE="chiefsub68, post: 2568279, member: 126074"] Hello Helen and welcome to the group. Please concentrate on a *gentle but determined* change of lifestyle, which will involve watching your diet and increased exercise. When I found I was T2 nine years ago I too wanted to lose weight fast and made the mistake of going on one of the powder diets. Yes I lost 10kg in 3 months but within seven months it was back on again. Follow the advice of your diabetes nurse with regard to the type of food to eat and the types to avoid. Smaller portions or the right food are key, followed by cutting out snacks in between meals if you can. Take a personal pledge to walk/cycle for any journey of up to 6km/10km -- leave the car at home and make time in your day for the newfound exercise (this applies more to people in the UK/Europe than North America, where such a change may be harder owing to cities' infrastructure.) These changes are for the rest of your life. There is no magic wand. Slowly, steadily is best. [/QUOTE]
