[QUOTE="rhedgehog, post: 939925, member: 203357"] Well, finished my third diabetes education clinic to day. Since diagnosis on 30th june blood tests (given diagnosis july 7th): Weight 200 KG down to 190 KG. BMI down from 57.2 to 53.5 Total Cholesterol 4.7 down to 4.2 LDL is 2.4 (a little high) HDL 0.91 (a little low) AC1 - from 51 down to 46 And that is on the NICE guidelines. I still think i'll give carbs a miss in the evenings, and i look forward to learning just how my body reacts when the blood meter arrives, but in the short term at least, until i can lose some more weight, it looks like i am doing ok without having to really change any habits apart from portion size and maybe a little higher veg ratio :) roll on the next fortnight when i can start using my leg again!
