[QUOTE="Deleted member 508720, post: 2106967"] It was very good to read your post. Thanks very much. How interesting to read about all the similarities to me. You’ve done amazingly well to get your blood pressure down so much. It’s interesting that , on the whole, I haven’t had cravings for sweet food. I have managed to keep off it for two and a half months but I must admit I find it difficult sitting there whilst my husband is eating lovely puddings or cakes! I sometimes get myself something like a big strawberry or three cherries. My diabetic nurse has emphasised not to do without but to substitute. That’s sometimes easier said than done. I hope you enjoy the DESMOND course on Monday. It is a full day. We started at 9.30 am, had only half an hour for lunch and finished at 5 pm. Like you, I decided to get everything out of it that I could. I was amazed that other people didn’t seem to know much about what they could and couldn’t eat. The course I attended was run by a retired GP and a diabetic nurse. The course was very highly organised, informative and well-structured. There was opportunity to ask questions. As well as diet, they also discussed things like retina screening, foot care and some of the other complications which can occur. For me, it reinforced that what I am doing is the right thing. I was amazed that I was the only one who completed the feedback form at the end; the others just left them on the desk not filled in. I wish you the very best and hope you continue to do so well in the future. Sheila [/QUOTE]
