[QUOTE="johnbrownuk, post: 232767, member: 39374"] Hi diagnosed type 2, over 2 years ago, I have dropped 4 trouser sizes in that time ( shows how bad I was in the first place ! ) My diabetic nurse ( who is briliant ) gave me her husbands tips ( hes about the same age and type 2 ) Lots of small meal/snacks all day, I usually have a banana at breakfast , nuts and dried apricots mid morning, soup and dry toast for lunch, nuts and dried fruit mid afternoon and a small evening meal usually fish and veg, chicken and veg and nuts and dried fruit snack for supper. Alternate the dried fruit with scotch oat biscuits( low salt and slow carbs) and often have porridge as a meal replacement, again slow carb release and I never feel hungry. I treat myself once a week and have a splurge which really gives me something to aim at, but it takes time and its a real mindset thing for me, I have fallen of the wagon a few times but my sugars soon warn me to get back on it....[u][b]keep going it can get much better[/b][/u] :D :D [/QUOTE]
