[QUOTE="gale1960, post: 2197115, member: 518497"] As for weird diets... She's a bit behind the timeson the advice, as the NHS now actually [I]does[/I] endorse a "weird" one, and has for the past year, I believe: low carb, high fat. Which is what works perfectly for a lot of members here, myself included. I've been in the normal, non-diabetic range that way for well over 3 years now. (I was diagnosed about 3,5 years ago). Thanks for the reply! I have seen quite a few posts about this and I'm going to give it a try. I do love my bread, potatoes and pasta though so it's going to be a challenge. I didn't really see it coming but when I went for my yearly blood test and was asked to repeat it two days later I kind of suspected. Then I got a phone call from my surgery asking me to make an appointment and I knew what had happened. The nurse did say not to buy a machine as I would be given one if they felt I needed it. However from reading posts here I feel it's something I ought to have. My blood test level was 50 both times and the nurse said that 48 was the cut off so I'm just over. She felt that I could get that down by making a few changes to my eating habits. I'm hoping to avoid medication so I'm really taking on board advice about diet. [/QUOTE]
