Hi Rob :) Glad you enjoyed it and your son too. No harm in having an occasional treat. Just get back to diet straight away as you have done. I have a small treat every day (counting the carbs in my daily total) - I have that to think about when I am tempted to stray and the thought of it keeps me on track. :) Did you play Mr Tambourine Man for him? Or does he think it's too "old-fashioned" :lol:

Not being able to eat lots of the above!
Hi Rob,

Thats great news - as somebody who has just been diagnosed - can you give me further information on how you have managed to acheive this?

I also hope that I can avoid the medications for as long as possible with diet and life style change
