[QUOTE="PenfoldAPD, post: 1107712, member: 256043"] Thank you for all the replies - I'm glad I appear not to have offended anyone, that was never my intention. I'm here to learn (I've spent hours on here since diagnosis!) and part of that is understanding how many here, the experts against my newbie status, manage their diabetes. [USER=113206]@NoCrbs4Me[/USER] amazed at your results, I've been reading your posts since I joined - you were one of the first who inspired me to realise LCHF was good thing to try. [USER=211362]@Mep[/USER] the cholesterol thing scares me most as GP put me on pills for that. But amazingly mine came down! Let's hope it stays that way, I just love cheese and dairy. [USER=130331]@Mike D[/USER] thank for kind words, I'm intending to stick around [emoji6] [USER=85197]@zand[/USER] yep, holidays are bad. I struggled while traveling yesterday - didn't take Metformin as didn't want a dodgy tummy on the plane, registered a 9.9 at one stage! And supermarket shopping in France took forever ... what's French for carbs was my first question! [USER=223641]@Stallen[/USER] sounds like we are on the same page, read a few of those 'oh just a few treats' posts follows by complaints of high BGL. Er, doh!!! [USER=269388]@Finsky[/USER] so true about the brain washing - I do worry though I'm become a food bore telling friends what they should be eating. Interesting though a friend who has been type 2 for years responded to my Facebook post about my results and asked for help. That made me happy. [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] I'm in France, it's carb city at the supermarket! I hear what you are saying about the addictive qualities, it might be a tough weekend [emoji37] [USER=270837]@ElkBond[/USER] I like your approach, ultimately I hope for LCHF with occasional treats - if that keeps me in the 5s I can live with it. I bought Jelly Babies yesterday (just incase I need them I told myself!), ate half the packet and my count is up this morning. Back to good stuff today. Again, thanks to everyone who replied - I've learnt that I need to realise we are all different, and maybe I'm more driven and focused on health due to a result of surging cancer early in life. I'll try not to get annoyed at the 'I ate 3 sticky buns and now feel awful' posts - and contribute here in a positive manner. And maybe not waffle so much [emoji18] [/QUOTE]
