[QUOTE="SarahEN, post: 2120212, member: 512696"] Had an impromptu appointment with the GP yesterday due to a girlie problem. She was so excited by the weight loss she wanted to retest my blood sugars there & then but quickly realised I needed another month for a realistic result. She was very pleased with my tracking of my BG at home (ranging between 7.3 & 6.6 1st thing in the AM) - even said I may already be in remission. Fingers crossed but am waiting for the official blood test before I get too excited. Re Metformin - she believes I can come off it after my blood test in a month - so given I have not had any side effects I'm going to stick with it, & as of this week move to the 5:2 version of the blood sugar diet. I still have a significant amount of weight to shift so even though I have already lost 10% I can't just sit back & relax yet. I am completely resigned to not eating many carbs forever. Except 1 potato at Xmas [emoji1787] & a Yorkshire pudding! A quick question - i fly to Cape Verde on thursday - should I just completely avoid the plane food? I can order a diabetic meal but I've read they are more for T1 diabetics & often carb laden. I can eat prior to the flight, its only 6 hours & we will likely be at the hotel within 90 mins max of landing so am thinking i should just take some nuts & water. [/QUOTE]
