[QUOTE="ph1, post: 664249, member: 135972"] Apologies, I thought you meant a weight level, which is probably directly proportional to weight levels. 'Normal lifestyle' is living in moderation. Eat healthily but have whatever I want when I want[B] in moderation[/B] e.g. a beer on the weekends, a ckae/biscuit jolly whenever I feel like. I grew up with a sweet tooth and I have no doubt that this contributed to my type 2 over the years. I also like beer and unfortunatley have a great propensity for consuming large amounts of it. You wouldn't believe me if I told you. Referring to the weight issue, when I tell people I'm diabetic they ask how I could be diabetic because I'm not carrying excess weight, this applies even at 15 stone. We all know you don't have to be overweight to be type 2. Also, the fact I get to 15 stone is because I train and use protein shakes and weights, people tend to not believe when I tell them my weight, I've had to prove it many times. I should have mentiobned the importance of exercise whatever your capabilities (I believe it's all relative for different people). When I undertook the Newcastle diet, I walked around the local park usually 1-3 miles most days. I felt too exhausted to do any more and I had to be careful with going hypo. On the subject of hypo, you can have a pseudo hypo just by dropping sugar levels quickly, even if your sugar is high. I had a minor hypo when my blood glucose dropped from 23 to 16 over a few hours. You don't have to have a really low blood glucose level to get a minor attack. You probably knew this but I've added just in case it helps somebody reading this. When I went on the diet and during my diabetic years I had nobody to relate experiences to. I only joined the group to possibly help somebody with similar experiences as myself, after all most diabetic experieneces will differ. Cheers - Paul P.S> Apologies for the protracted messages but I'm trying to get everything in. I'll probably disappear from the group after Ishare my next blood tests in early Feb. [/QUOTE]
