[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 954790, member: 43498"] Don't worry about not having the figures yet, there is plenty of time and the real benefit of having them will come in 3 months time when you can see the improvement. Have a read in the success stories and testimonials subforum for inspiration. I've seen dozens of stories from people just like you who have normalised their blood sugars (and often blood pressure) within 3 months. Quitting sugar is hard at the start because the body craves it. You may feel yuck for a few days but it will pass and then you may feel better than you have in a long time. Usually people find they have more energy and no bloated, heavy feeling in their tummy. One of my favourite foods is full fat natural greek yoghurt with berries and a dash of sucaryl. You may find you don't need to add a sweetener. I also replace the yoghurt with clotted cream sometimes too. There are loads of food ideas and recipes on the forum. You may need to do a supermarket shop once you've designed an eating plan. Do you live alone or with others? It's a shame your doctor didn't mention that blood test back in January but never mind, from now on it's a good idea to get a printout after every blood test, so you can compare the figures to earlier results. We can help you understand what each one means. Also don't be afraid to ask your doctor and nurse every question you have. This is better than guessing or being in the dark. [/QUOTE]
