Well what a bunch of bellends they are, you are in the right place now. I am on 2000 of metformin and less than a year in my HBA1c is at 36 ( I was over 96) from being fixated with being perfect, today I am looking to be good. A "cheat meal" or a few glasses of wine is simply awesome as long as it is a treat and not a default choice.
Set a target for yourself, take small steps, each one will take you towards your target. Great advice for me was, herbs and spices are fantastic, add lots and make your food interesting. It does seriously help.
Stay strong, this illness is but a blip on the road of life. It will not stop you doing anything you want to.

Man, Ross, that made me laugh. They were right bellends, indeed!! Your readings are amazing, as well. Super well done to you!
What does your weekly food diary look like, if you don't mind me asking? What are your usual staple meals and how much exercise do you get? I'm asking purely because I don't know what the hell I'm doing and what you're doing really seems to work!
I'm still freaking out but I have anxiety disorder too so I'm prone to it (however, I am armed with more info than ever and am slowly but surely getting my head around it. Trying not to obsess over being perfect but it's a struggle, if I'm honest). I just had a small meal from the Chinese takeaway - white rice and veg curry (a tester meal, the first none LCHF meal I've had in 2 months). In one hour, my bg shot up double. Nearly crapped m'self. Hitting the 12's at one hour later I'm SO SO SO strict most of the time, but finding it really hard).
In regards to treats, I have no idea when or how to factor them in. I appreciate your lovely comment and the chuckle. Took my mind off that blummin' curry haha.
