[QUOTE="Ardbeg, post: 603507, member: 24122"] Lots of good advice here ally1. In my case, I took my betes diagnosis as a wake up call. I changed what I eat and when I eat. Your weight/size is the underlying issue here, of which betes is a symptom. The best thing I did to lose weight was go on The Newcastle Diet for 8 weeks, as I lost 3 stone in that short space of time and felt great (18 stone down to 15 stone). It really made me feel good about myself and I'm sure it would have the same effect on your state of mind too. I've also resisted taking meds as psychologically being "diet only" doesn't make me feel so bad about myself. Drink plenty of water, eat plenty of veg as snacks (carrot, celery, etc) and squeeze lemon juice or sprinkle some cinnamon over your foodstuff as and when you can. It's easy for others to say "stay positive" but in order to do that you must first of all love yourself. Focus on healing yourself from within and the rest will soon fall into place [/QUOTE]
