[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 398849, member: 55568"] Hi Dave, I was wonderng how you were getting on. Sounds like a rough ride on the meds. To be honest, your BGs are at a level where you probably could control them by diet and exercise alone. There's many on this forum who are in the high teens. Grapes by the way can be very sugary. Apples, pears, berries, grapes, plums etc, stuff that grows in the north is best. I 'make a meal' of these things, ie sit down with a plate and knife and cut off the bits I eat. It takes longer and you appreciate it more. When you etc these things on the move, you hardly notice. Just a little trick to persuade myself I don't want a chocolate bar. Sugar, I'm sure, did it for me. I also find a cup of tea is a good diversion. I have lots of teas like earl grey, green tea and lemon etc, bought a proper infusion teapot and again, I sit down and 'make tea'. There is something about ritual which helps prevent over indulgence. My wife has started to call me 'grasshopper'. [/QUOTE]
