[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 346268, member: 1338"] Hi Jules and welcome to the forum. It sounds like your diabetes was actually a classic case of insulin resistance caused by your weight. Having lost 6 stone, you've also lost the insulin resistance and your insulin is able to work normally in dealing with blood sugar. Technically you still have diabetes but it is well controlled. The simplest way to lose more weight would be to reduce the amount of carbohydrate in your supper and replace it with more protein. The protein will make you feel fuller for longer so should help you sleep better, and the carbohydrate reduction should cause you to lose weight. I don't know how much carbs you would have in an agerage supper so I can't say how many grams you should reduce by. But if you simply try 10% less carbs than you would normally have and try it for a week then you should start to see a reduction. If not then reduce the carbs a bit more. Dennis [/QUOTE]
