[QUOTE="pau1200, post: 2418267, member: 505394"] Hi, Inhale recently been where you are, I had great control for almost 18 months and last summer slipped. When I realised what was happening my readings were in the 20’s and like you I don’t want it to get to the point where you lose a limb or worse. Trying to go cold turkey is really hard but we tend to find using online shopping to plan meals ahead works well, one benefit of lockdown. Porridge and cereals for me are lethal so I don’t bother, I try and get an egg instead and now sometimes boil them the night before. I still have some carbs but try to make sure I keep an eye on them and if I know I have had something with a particularly high carb content I take the dogs for a walk and that helps. Unfortunately there is no cure so the changes you make need to be sustainable and that is the hardest part. Good look but you will get it under control and always here if you need support [/QUOTE]
