[QUOTE="peacetrain, post: 578327, member: 96747"] Thanks for that :-) I guess I'm looking for reassurances that I'm on the right road. Although I'll be going in to school it won't be stressful at all. I'll also be with my grandchildren a bit more, so that always makes me feel good. On 8th August I'll be off to Turkey until 25th. I'll stay with friends in İstanbul then over to the Anatolian side to see more friends. I'll be staying in the NWest, nowhere near the touristy SW, but it will be hot, so that will be interesting as far as bg goes. I always eat a good diet when in Turkey and in the past have usually lost weight. As long as I stay off most fruit, rice and bread, I'll be fine. One of my friends is T1 and another is vegetarian committed to organic produce. Another friend had gestational diabetes and her mother is T2. All my friends cook from scratch. A typical breakfast would be cheese, olives, tomatoes, cucumber. Also bread, honey, jam. Sometimes sausage and egg. There's plenty there for me to choose from. Late evening snacks usually come out in the form of fruit or nuts. I've already warned my friends about my fast paced walking. There are some lovely marble staircases that I can step up and down on too. One of my friends has a treadmill. I was with her when she bought it for her daughter 3 years ago but it's hardly been used. I'll be able to use that. Going back to my diabetes journey. I still have 2st 3lb to lose before I reach normal weight for my height. I'd like to lose another 3st but I'll see how it goes. It does mean that there's still some fat to come off and I'm hoping it comes off the liver area. Thanks again for the advice.
