[QUOTE="Blade72, post: 2468633, member: 551469"] I was diagnosed last week after a urine test with type 2, totally shocked even though I'm 3 Stone over weight with a BMI 35. I'm still taking it all in I had a blood test yesterday and get the results on 23 so unsure of the extent of my illness. My finger prick test read 15 however i had probably the first time in a year had a energy drink day before, I wasn't expecting 24 hours later to be having the test. I've always loved my carbs chips, pies , potatoes but never sweet stuff. I've had the first few days finding myself getting upset walking round a supermarket thinking I can't eat that again. I feel better last few days I've downloaded my fitness Pal and carbs counting. My wife's been amazing so supportive , shes turned the kitchen into a food lab, she made me keto bread roll with 6g carb , keto toad in the whole with chicken sausage using arrow route flour, cauliflower mash etc, all low carb . I'm still having a couple of glasses of wine on a night at the weekend. Exercise wise I'm walking more. I'm determined to stick to low carbs but hope I can have treats but my aim is to lose weight , a lot will come down to my blood results. [/QUOTE]
