Sounds like you've got a really good care team, happy for you 🙂
 
At last, Rosie! I really hope the new regime works to bring your BG down. 😛
 
I'm glad that you had a good appointment 🙂
 
Thanks everyone! It's so refreshing to meet a healthcare professional that hasn't immediately gone "ok you're so young and over weight so lose weight and you'll be fine" she actually asked me if I was eating enough instead of too much! Told me that the reason I'm probably not losing weight is because I'm only usually having two meals a day. Breakfast and tea and leaving a huge amount of time in between with no food. Something the dietician will hopefully help me sort out!

Hi. You mention carb-counting but aren't on insulin? Do you mean just counting the carbs during the day and keeping some control of them? Yes, beware NHS Dieticians. Some may be good but there are too many still proffering the dated and dangerous 'have loads of carbs' mantra.

Hi, no I'm not on insulin. I'm just trying to restrict my carbohydrates. Before my diagnosis my staple diet was carbohydrates so I'm trying to keep them to a minimum. Unnecessary carbs are out!
