[QUOTE="Buzzer81, post: 2269517, member: 521363"] Hi! Sounds like you have some good advice already. I was diagnosed and of Feb this year with blood glucose levels of 91 mmol. Like you i had no idea what to do but in that time, thanks tk this forum, I feel I have made some positive steps to reduce my levels. My biggest tips are to get a blood glucose testing kit at home. It shows you what effect the food you eat has on your blood sugar and that is both motivating and reassuring. I log these figures on an app called MySugr which then gives me an estimated hba1c score..... it’s telling me mine is 42!!!! That would Be amazing but I have the actual test next week so fingers crossed it is accurate! Giving up so much lovely food wasn’t hard at first but as time goes by I missed things more (still Haven’t kissed any crusty bread tho!) My main sins are dark chocolate (85% Lindt of green and blacks are amazing) I haven’t started with exercise yet as I’ve been a bit lazy but sounds like you’re on the right track with that. I need to do more as it is very important! Anyway, welcome, good luck and let us know how you get on!!!!! [/QUOTE]
