[QUOTE="jayney27, post: 1834868, member: 455431"] Hi [USER=460354]@Debandez[/USER] what a brilliant post. I'm more than happy to add whatever support I can. As mentioned by [USER=455169]@shelley262[/USER] re weight loss, add my 4 and a half stone loss to our combined total, hey we are well on our way to the 100 stone target. No meds and remission via diet only for me too. Everyone I meet can't get over my transformation and is interested to know how I achieved it. The more people we can enlighten the better, I appreciate that it isn't the route everyone can take and that there will be doubters but that's fine, we are free to make our own choices. My partners mum has recently followed my lead re diet and testing, she has been type 2 for as long as I've known her, has other more recent health issues too, but some of these I felt could be improved with a change to her diet. She was aware of my diagnoses but hadn't seen me until May this year, her reaction was priceless, if not a little worrying, she was half way down the stairs as I walked through her front door, she had to grab the handrail for fear of falling, she was amazed. She hadn't taken her diagnoses that seriously and although she ate a fairly balanced diet, she was also a big carb muncher. Earlier this year she needed an operation that was cancelled due to her high BG levels. Seeing me was her light bulb moment, I ordered her a meter and suggested while I was on holiday she cut her carbs, just for one meal a day, until I got back. On my return her finger prick tests were averaging 9's or 10's, the previous week we recorded a 16 on my meter! she had also lost a couple of pounds. She has continued low carb, is seeing steady weight loss, averaging 1lb per week, but is aware of fat melting away. I suggested she ask for a new blood test to see if she could be reconsidered for her operation, after a bit of a battle, being told that it was a waste of time, despite being able to prove that her BG levels were improving they re tested her, proof provided, levels much improved and now within the range to be put back on the list for her operation, result. Back to you, well done for taking the initiative to suggest we try and spread the word, count me in. [/QUOTE]
