hi darren,
i was confused at firest but found smaller portions and lower fats help and try different things with salad,
you must just stick at it i have things like salad, salad dressings vary like thai red salad dressing bought in a big supermarket (pat back pocket) hint :) made by tiger tiger only need a tablespoons worth, makes all the differnce,extra light mayo,
i use light olive spread instead of butter no sugar just canderel i eat salmon,prawns home made lasagne or spag bol ( only a small amount as a treat.
carb counting is to me extremely important i don't know if you have weight to lose but i assume you do and will say once you start losing the weight you will find the control a little easier.
as for carbs no one seemed to know what carbs i should use so i first tried 20 to 30 per day but really started to feel ill so went to 80 to 100 and found that was much better for me (of course every one is different) so you must find what is right for you.
i don't eat white bread i buy weightwatchers wholemeal (very small slices) i have one at breakfast with a boiled egg or a little no added sugar jam just experiment don't worry if you fluctuate as i still do and really do sometimes get frustrated which does not help so just do it really steady.
i hope this helps some way for you.
good luck and don't be afraid to ask me. if i can help i woukd be happy but bare in mind i'm still experimenting with it.
do it for you as its your body and your life.
best wishes
Rob... :D

You have a heart in every way that counts :)

Hiya lister, notice your going thalium test, tiny bit of radiation shows great images of the heart structure, thus giving consultant a closer n deeper look at what is going on with your engine! and can reach better diagnosis for you. Hope this reassures you more. Anna.x :)

Hi every one,
thanks for all your kind support i have an acoustic guitar with steel strings its an aria really love the tone of it,
been a little busy lately turns out my wife is also type 2 (i've heard of keeping things in the family but lol) :lol: she was told a few days ago after a routine check up i call her my twin :lol: my mind is at rest now thank you for the info about the thalium test.
have it done on the 12 july but have to go back on 19 july i presume for resaults :?:
i do try to log on here but due to family life can sometimes get too busy (wife disabled me disabled son special needs etc) but am proud of what i have succeded in so far,
i get a lot of inspiration from this forum.
shocked at the news stating "type 2 cure is diet" i believe in some people's case it may help to control it but is far away from a cure i wish the media would get it right they make us all sound like we're all over weight and lazy :roll:
