[QUOTE="Debandez, post: 2139133, member: 460354"] 4.8 when I woke at 6.30am. 5.1 when I woke an hour later. Obviously I'm taking the 4.8 :) I was a little shy to mention the other day what happened at the x-pert health conference in Manchester. I met up with Dr David Unwin at the end of the day in the reception area. My eyes lit up (he is one of my heroes). We went towards each other like long lost friends and hugged. He said 'you superstar' I replied 'I love you' laughing and a little giggly i must say. It was a magical moment for me. Anyway it's out there now. He is such a lovely man. So today's news is that I have been invited to speak at a health and wellbeing event put on by Merlin for its employees and also the public. It's at Blackpool Tower Ballroom no less. I obviously said yes. I say yes to anything as you know! I knew I wouldn't get there for me dancing skills!!! I've had a promotion and will be known as a keynote speaker! (Never in my wildest dreams would I have said I would have had the guts for this but my passion is overtaking my nerves and beating them out of the way). If it helps one diabetic, one person battling their weight, or turns any light on regarding looking after the most precious gift of health then I'm very happy. I can also say 'as seen on TV'!!! It would be lovely to see members of the forum there. I will be there all day and at some point giving a 30 minute talk! Ideas on that are as follows: Obviously my journey with diabetes. From prior to dx to date and what I am hoping for in the future as a diabetic. So my lifestyle Insulin resistance Weight gain Teaspoon of sugar demo My diagnosis How I felt Advice I was given Medication my thoughts Google and finding a way to reverse t2d Lchf and keto explained What it can be helpful for Low carb shopping list Other options VLCD and bariatric surgery eg Blood sugar monitoring including libre demo Going to do similar experiment to dr unwin where he ate a banana and it showed a spike Touch on IF Mindfulness That sort of thing. Plus Eric has agreed to be a prop as well as PA! Exhibit A = non diabetic who has lost 20lbs himself making small changes PowerPoint presentation hopefully. Please feel free to spread the word my friends. Every little helps I always say, this may only be to a few people (whoever's wanders in in the day) but ripples can reach far and wide. Eric will be filming and I will subsequently be posting on all my social media platforms. Have a lovely Sunday. I'm painting! Did outside yesterday as it was scorchio. Back indoors today. [/QUOTE]
