Hi,

I was diagnosed as Type 2 in November. Under instruction to go and modify diet and return in 6 - 8 weeks. So I'm due to return to doctor early in the new year and find out how that's gone.

Hi ladyengineer,

The key thing to understand as a newly-diagnosed Type 2 is the importance of cutting back dramatically on the starchy carbohydrate that you eat - i.e. cereals, bread, potatoes, pasta and rice. Doing that usually leads to a quick and big improvement in blood glucose levels.

Best wishes - John

I've made the appointment for my review so we'll see what Friday morning brings. I know I've managed to lose some weight so at least that's one positive 🙂

Well done on th eweight loss - fantastic.

I finally got my blood results. BS was 14 and last week down to 9. I'm pleased with this result particularly when added to the weight loss of 10lbs.

However the notes from the doctor were that blood sugar was not under control and must stick to diet.

I don't know if it's the content of the note or the delivery (from the receptionist at the surgery) but I felt like I'd been slapped with a "must try harder" :(

That's a great reduction, both the blood and the weight - think of the notes not as an admonishment, but an encouragement not to get complacent and to keep up the good work! Excellent progress in such a short time - well done!🙂
