Hi there, i was diagnosed in 2013 with type 2 diabetes, i have managed well just with diet and exercise, bring it down to 5.4, now it is rising again and currently i am at 7.2. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety 6 months ago and have been on medication but my diet has deteriorated, and i have gained some weight, and believe thats the answer for the rise in my blood glucose levels. Also i have never had a problem with cholesterol before, always been 4 - 4.2, but now it has shot up to 5.9 and i have 6 months to sort it all out with diet and exercise or i will be going on medication, which i really don't want. So any advice would be great, I am trying to watch my carbs and sugar, eating more vegetables and meat, I don't drink only tea, fruit tea or water. I do have a problem with craving mostly cake, chocolate and biscuits. Any advice you can give me i would really appreciate. Thanks in advance.
