[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1924536, member: 94045"] Hi and welcome, Even those of us that needed to lose weight when we were diagnosed soon find ourselves in a position where all the excess weight has disappeared and we need to maintain our slim selves. It can be done with a low carb diet that includes plenty of proteins and fats. It requires a set of bathroom scales, a food diary, and most importantly a blood glucose meter. Then, with a bit of effort, most of which is pleasurable, we manage to maintain our weight and keep non-diabetic blood glucose levels. Whilst exercise is good for body and soul, it isn't necessary to go overboard. Dog walking has kept me on the straight and narrow. With all that medication you are taking your blood glucose levels should be a lot lower than your HbA1c of 68 infers, and your nurse is being far too generous. As others have said above, if you can tell us what kinds of foods you eat on a daily basis - maybe a typical days menu, we will be able to spot something to help you. [/QUOTE]
