@Mikii - Hi, Interesting that you took Insulin and now just on diet and exercise. Have you lost a lot of weight too?

 

[Mikii]

Liam I've lost two stone!

 

[Liam1955]

@Mikii - Well Done . So, wonder what my problem is? I began Insulin in July, 2014 and I was 15 stone then, and now I weigh 12 stone 12lbs, I also take 4 x 500mg Metformin a day too. I have had Diabetes type 2 since the year 2000 (16 years).

@liam so do you watch your diet? I follow a low carb diet.

welcome Mikii

Yes @Mikii to a certain degree. I am now what I call 90% vegetarian. Having introduced Eggs, Smoked Bacon and other stuff into my diet in the last year, but in moderation. (I am still a very fussy eater)
