Well I'm proud to say that even though I over indulged over Christmas and New Year my BS never came over 7!I fact the more chocs I ate at work the less my BS was when I got home...weird.However I knew that I would burn them off at work.I wouldn't be that lucky at home!Thankfully all chocs,at home and work ,are finished so temptation is gone till next Christmas!

Sue,

Your 2 stone in 6 months is pretty good. I have lost 20 lbs in 4 months so am keeping pace with your rate of loss, but mine is chemically assisted because I am on Byetta, which has a side effect of suppressing your appetite so you tend not to snack and feel less hungry at mealtimes. I have about another 10 lbs to lose to reach my target weight.

Fugs, your weight loss is astonishing and puts us all to shame.

Karen, you lost around 11 stone - how long did that take?

Dennis it took me 14 months, and what a struggle it has been too :-(

I think that's amazing in 14 months. How you managed it in such a short space of time is awe inspiring.
I did ask my gp to give me anorexia for a while but all I got from him was that he thought I was buliemic with the added complication of alzheimers. He said that I had binges but forgot to make myself sick.

I hope I haven't offended anyone but that's what he said!

hi liz
i think i must have the same buliemea as you i wonder how many others do to ?

What amazes me is that the diabetic centre I go to is obsessed about weight yet all the staff are at least 3-4 stone overweight.
It's not exactly a good advert for the patients lol

>^..^<

hahaha Fugs, at least your GP has a sense of humour, you made me smile on this miserable, dark, gloomy Sunday morning ))

Out of the three diabetic nurses at my centre, the only one without a sense of humour about weight is a bit of a salad dodger herself.

Sounds about right! I got 50 strips but only 100 lancets,will try and get it upgraded next time I'm at docs. as 100 lancets actually are cheaper to buy than cost of prescription!

Knowledge is the key to control

<br />I have been to see my diabetic nurse today, eventually got my blood test results which were taken on the 17th Oct, 6.7 not bad but I have waited 6 months for this, I asked about a tester but that got ignored as she started talking about something else, my cholesterol is also down to 3.7.
Do you think it may be better to see my diabetic doctor and see if I can get any further?
