[QUOTE="poohtiggy, post: 840944, member: 130077"] Saw a surgery nurse today for my annual heart health check as I'm classed high risk, it was with a nurse I never see. "Oh my" she says, "you have lost weight and you look very very well" your BMI is down to normal range, your cholesterol is better, keep doing what you're doing and you'll live to a hundred":nurse: I asked then if a reading of 3.2 was anything to worry about as I had a couple recently. This was when I almost ran for shelter. "Why are you testing?" "So I know what I can eat safely" "Oh, you shouldn't' t be testing you will make your fingers sore":hilarious::hilarious::hilarious: "If I do I will take a rest from testing, they are my fingers" "Do you know of and understand the Glaecemic Index? I will go and get you a sheet" She comes back and offers this sheet, here's a little of what it said. YOGURT: Choose low fat Nuts:....... High fat content so eat in moderation Potatoes: Jackets are a good choice and good with baked beans over Rice and Chicken Eat more Pasta based meals 3 pieces of fruit a day Avoid full fat milk and cheese By the time I got that far I had read enough. I could not believe she was telling me to eat the way I used to which made me DIABETIC:mad::mad::mad: would I really live to a hundred eating like that?:facepalm: I will continue to test and test, it's the only way!
