[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 1670233, member: 400972"] 1) How do I cope living with Diabetes? I plan ahead, always know what I’ll be eating a week ahead and shop accordingly. As time has gone by I’ve learned to be a bit more flexible and can accommodate a spur of the moment coffee shop invite! If we’re eating out I search the internet for restaurant menus beforehand and always have a plan A and plan B! 2) I have a few go to people. My family, hubby and two grown up children who listen patiently to my never ending facts about my blood sugar numbers and weight. One of my closest friends who not diabetic herself always shows an interest in my diabetic journey and when we’re out for lunch insists on eating the same as me so I don’t feel like the odd one out. Then of course all my virtual friends here. 3) How did it change my life? Actually for the better! I have lost 5 stone in weight, normalised my bp and found some relief from my arthritis, partly via weight loss and partly I believe from the anti inflammatory effect of low carbing, as it’s not just my weight bearing joints that have improved. 4) Short term goals are to recover from my recent foot surgery and get walking and swimming again. Medium term, to carry on losing weight and get to a healthy BMI during 2018 Long term, to maintain, a healthy weight and HbA1c for as long as I can. Thanks for this post [USER=439634]@NewTD2[/USER], it’s made me appreciate how much I’ve achieved since diagnosis and redoubled my determination to carry on trying x [/QUOTE]
