Well done!! I am still a bit confused by diet etc. I have just had some goats cheese, which is low in carbs and sugar - good for diabetes. However, a few years ago I was on the Weight Watchers diet (pre-diabetes) and the saturated fat in the goats cheese would have been a big no - no - as would cream and butter. So is it a case of one thing is good for the diabetes but not weight loss and vice versa? Also, I have been eating a lot of cheese - good for the diabetes I think - but I am thinking this can't be good for cholestoral and will be clogging up the arteries?
I had my first tests 4 months back and went to 6.4 (46%), which the nurse was pleased about. She said to go back in 6 months unless I wanted a test after 3 months. I think I will ask for a test now to be on the safe side as I am not testing myself at all.
This is all very confusing. Like Grace I lost weight quickly and now it has stabilised a bit. All the time I was losing weight I thought this must be good for the diabetes and so I switched off to what I need to do long term, :?:

Awwww thanks Anna :thumbup: I'm glad I've made you laugh. I've felt rotten for so long that I'd forgotten what it was like to have a good old giggle so I'm really enjoying having my energy and sense of humour come back. Hope your dental appointment goes well for you, think of me piddling in my pot while you're there and it'll take your mind off what he's doing. :thumbup:
