[QUOTE="Viv19, post: 2008827, member: 502009"] Hi, I’m a Brit living in Germany, 70 yrs old. I’ve been pre-diabetic for the past 5 years. Having decided to diet so that I can ditch the hated Metformin I went to my GP to have a blood test done, and discovered that my levels have gone up and I’ve slid over the boundary into diabetes. So far I’ve lost 4 kg having cut out bread, pasta, rice, alcohol etc. it seems to be working but very very slowly. I now have a magic tester that has really opened my eyes to how quickly my blood sugar can rise. Anyway, I’m trying to improve my fitness levels- I go to the gym twice a week anyway, but realised today that even a fast 1/2 hr walk has amazing results. I still have 6 kilos to go to get my BMI to the right number, and then probably more to shed after that before hopefully I can lose the Metformin. This forum is really interesting, great information here. I definitely have some catch up reading to do now. [/QUOTE]
