[QUOTE="Juniperr, post: 2692643, member: 587354"] Hello everyone. I’ll try and give you some back story without this turning into a 10 page essay. I’m 38 and currently 23 stone 1lb. I have a disabled child and as a single parent, the focus of anything has never been on myself. This year I started to have some health issues, and I noticed some signs of diabetes. I purchased a BG monitor and measured as soon as it arrived. It said 7.3 mmol. I hadn’t eaten at that point, but it wasn’t as soon as I got up. I immediately did an online food shop and some research online. Changed my diet and genuinely haven’t cheated once. The first week I lost 5lb. This week 1lb. And for the size I am, I’m disappointed. My fasting readings are consistently 6.6-6.8 now. And a couple hours after breakfast or lunch, they read around 6.4-6.7. I haven’t ever measured after dinner though… I track all food on an app and I’m eating 1200-1300 calories which is why I don’t understand why the weight isn’t flying off! And 86g of carbs a day. Can anyone advise me of what to do? I really want to lose weight to help this [/QUOTE]
