Last week I went for my review for type 2. My bg's have been from 12 - 16 all the time since diagnosis 6 years ago. I was told they wanted to put me on insulin and this was the kick up the backside I needed. I am also obese and after stopping smoking and many other life issues along with depression food became my friend. When down, lonely, bored or anything else, food was the only thing left to turn to.I begged for a last chance before insulin which they gave me. I lost half a stone, had more energy, not tired constantly and my bg's range from 3.2 - 6.9 which I have never been close to before. All that improvement within a week. All I did was set my mind on avoiding insuin. I don't eat all the chocolate, cakes, chips and everything else I knew I shouldn't be eating. I am also restricted with green leafy veg, brocolli and lettuce as I am on warfarin so this limits the veg and salad. My new friend is wholemeal toast and lean ham sandwiches with wholemeal bread.I must confess I was a proper pig and a gluton until last week. Now I hardly have any carbs or sugar and I honestly don't want them. I want to carry on losing (loads more to go). Good luck I was in exactly the same boat as you a week a go. If I can do it ANYBODY can and that includes you. I want updates please as to how you are getting on. Jx</blockquote>
