Hey guys,

Still don't have a monitor but it's on route, went with the codefree as so many recommend it. Started feeling much better yesterday and even better today.

Think I will move into the LCHF diet properly as I'm am almost following it now anyway.

4 weeks ago I was eating doughnuts, muffins, trifles, fast foods, chips, pizzas take out take out take out and heaps of regular cola, , after just 1 month of eating eggs, fish, chicken, salad, fruit, yoghurt, cheese got to say I'm so embarrassed about what I ate, and feel so stupid. Still a little upset but think I'm finally starting to accept it now the shock is over.

The other night I went gangster and had 6 rich tea biscuits, just couldn't help myself, needless to say an hour later my mouth was dry, so I'm guessing I won't be able to handle many carbs.

Anyways overall I'm feeling a little more upbeat, I do miss the gorging, and am fearful of the future, just wish I would have been wiser sooner.

Hi Well done for changing the food you were eating to the new LCHF diet, I find that it's all pretty good food. Doing what you have done will have already had a reduction on your blood sugars, but once you get your meter you may not so readily go 'gangster' when you see the readings it may give you.

Hey brilliant well done Daks. What a change around. I think most people would have a list like that if they were honest. Id have to remove trifle ...never understood it lol. Seriously four weeks and such an improvement. Its a slow and steady process with a few steps back now and then. Good luck your future definitely appears a lot more positive than a month ago do you think?? Keep going :)

Hey Neverforever, thanks for your kind words, it's so nice to step outside of your own family circle and find sincere people that know how you feel and care, very comforting x
