- Not many. I can put up with lots of negativity in all forms, it just makes me more determined to succeed when I meet a brick wall lol.
Me: James from Glasgow Scotland. T2 since 2014 one year after my triple bypass lol. I got this beat because I learned through research over the past years since my diagnosis in 2014.
Just cut out carbohydrates and you'll feel better. Now retired I keep fit by gardening and doing lots of DIY depending on the weather.
On sunny days outside and rainy days indoors. Simple thinking works for me. I miss breakfast out and just have tea, coffee, or water to fill my stomach when I know I will not be doing any light to heavy activities and this in turn keeps my BS low also no extra weight put on. I just realized one morning that I was on auto to eat breakfast even when I knew I would not be doing anything to burn carbs etc. So, why eat if you're not doing manual work? It helped me lose weight over the weeks and months and friends and family kept remarking how fantastic I was looking. I didn't even notice I was losing this weight because I just cut out carbohydrates because I know they are a diabetic's worst enemy. I am such a fussy eater too, but I had no problems changing my diet as it felt pretty natural not to eat carb foods which amazed me. I even eventually stopped taking my Metformin in the morning because I only took fluids to keep me full. I would have breakfast and a single pill when I knew I was going to be doing things and so 8 years on it's " so far so good ".
