[QUOTE="IronLioness, post: 2009074, member: 492004"] Thanks Keith :-) - and well done to you, you sound like you're in 'I'm tackling this' mode too - those are strong numbers you've come down on! I'm trying to keep myself in check, not let myself get carried away thinking "yeah great it's gone!" because I know it could always come with a vengeance, so my plan is just to take it one step at a time. Its definitely going to be a long-haul-change that needs to be made, but the remission result was a personal win for me. It's the first time I've been *so* serious about changing my life, doing something good for me, and in the bigger picture - consistency with food, gym, reducing stress etc. I turned down the Metformin at diagnosis only because I wanted to try and get a hang of this totally solo, I guess it was a sort of test for myself. I was literally breaking myself and I think the diagnosis honestly was the point where it was a prod from up above to start taking my health seriously. I needed it. I agree with you on the no good stuffing cakes and carbs, I'm definitely out of that mindset, they're literally gone from my life. I went pretty hardcore at diagnosis, but I needed to, to give myself a head start and try build new habits and a new lifestyle. It's working. Current focus is on consistency - this has *always* been my downfall in the past, but I'm genuinely determined to get this under control for as long as is possible to keep the bad repercussions at bay.
