Message: <blockquote data-quote="TMG" data-source="post: 434879" data-attributes="member: 62495">Good morning everyone   <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> I was diagnosed just before christmas and was absolutely gutted, I really struggled at first to adjust, but have just had my latest HbA1c and it's down again from 6.8 to a nice round 6!  My GP has even told me I only need to test my levels if I'm going to drive for over an hour at a time. so no horrible sticky in things ( Have needle phobia and was srtuggling on this point )  :clap: Still think I can do better.  I am 1.5 Lbs off dropping my second stone in weight, and am looking good!   :thumbup: I have taken up walking with a local group called the Phoenix Striders and have got it up to 3.17 miles on Thurs eve.  I'm enjoying it so much my husband is going to join us this week. (He's also lost over a stone as he's eating the same diet as me and getting sweeteners in his coffee and he hasn't even noticed!!)And it all boils down to this Forum... It shows how to make the adjustments ness without any dire threats, just good sound advice from the people who have already been there.  So there's no need to panic.Thank you all for your support.Tracey</blockquote>
