[QUOTE="Debandez, post: 2072105, member: 460354"] 5.3 today - very happy Have to be somewhere at 9 am so dashing. Its diabetes week so I will just share my social media post from yesterday as I can do that quickly: Its Diabetes Awareness Week. Prepare yourself my Facebook friends! Just been for my annual diabetic retinal eye screening so things a bit blurry, apologies in advance for typos! So what have the last 18 months taught me? Here's just a few things. There are far too many to mention in one post. Dont take your good health for granted, your health is your wealth. Listen to your body Look forward and not back, you cant change the past Diabetes, although serious can thankfully be manageable Type 1 and type 2 are entirely different and need to be named differently Illnesses aren't always apparent from the outside The advice the NHS give to type 2 diabetics is rubbish Health providers more often just treat the symptoms and tell diabetics it's a progressive illness and don't inform on how to stop the progression The NHS could save billions if they changed their advice and gave out blood glucose testing kits and strips More diabetes education is required. For NHS staff/health care professionals and patients alike. What a carbohydrate is! And how much sugar is hidden within. A lot! Fruit isn't as good for you as you might think. There are good and bad choices when diabetic. A little grape i now class as a sugar BOMB. Natural sugars in fruit can still wreak havoc with blood sugars. Berries are best. Sugar is addictive and buried within most of our food under over 50 different names....for a reason! Big pharma companies and food industries are behind lots of research into what we should class as healthy. Healthy symbols on packaging can often be misleading Low carb way of eating works for me, it keeps me full for longer, but it's not for everyone Fat is my friend not my enemy Low fat often means high sugar Cholestrol is misunderstood I can still eat chocolate Being overweight is not good for your health it can lead to health issues including type 2 diabetes You CAN change your life and better your health with a little determination and commitment and lots of support from friends and family I can lose weight! And keep it off!!! Dont believe all you read, research things for yourself I'm in remission I'm not cured My diagnosis was a blessing in disguise, I've never felt healthier or as good about myself. I love inspirational quotes! They help [USER=402436]@karen8967[/USER] thank you - last line added this morning. ;-) Happy Tuesday to all. [/QUOTE]
