@Lanny I'm very surprised to see that you drink full sugar juice on a regular basis xx
 
Kaylz, I cut out all Sweeteners about 6/7 months ago when my GP practice posted a news item on their facebook page. Sweeteners confuse the brain into making you eat more because of missing calories. The more you have; the greater the deficit & the more you eat. I read that & realised Bingo, that’s me! I kept drinking more & more coke zero, 8 2 litre bottles a week at one point, & eating bigger & bigger meals. I was eating about 4000cals/day & still feeling hungry.

I dumped everything with Sweeteners in it & started drinking juice & taking honey in my tea.

It didn’t happen overnight but, I’ve now cut down to eating 1200cals/day & I’m not hungry! I’m losing a steady 0.25 stone a week.
 
That's all very well and good @Lanny but as a diabetic full sugar drinks aren't ideal, and in fact I'm not sue I actually know of another diabetic that drinks them unless they are having a hypo, I was a big full sugar fizzy drinker before I was diagnosed, up to 5 litres a day, now I only drink water and coffee with a touch of milk, I know your injecting but the fizzy drinks will have a huge impact in your blood sugar causing big hikes I assume, do you post meal test out of interest? xx
 
Yes, the BS readings, in brackets, before the meal & 2 hours after the meal. My hospital team know that I’m drinking full sugar juices & taking honey in tea. They don’t advocate carb counting in type 2’s but, my dietian has agreed to start teaching me when she posts an appointment in a month or two. She said to concentrate on counting calories in the meantime, as that’ll help the weight loss, which helps everything else.

Maybe the sugar issue will be addressed. I had been worrying a bit about it myself but, didn’t want to go back to 4000cals/day. More sugar & less calories vs less sugar & more calories?

I posted about it when I joined the forum under the newbie forum. “How cutting out Artificial Sweeteners from my diet affected my blood sugars & weight”.
 
Today
Tea
B: Raspberries & LF Greek yogurt, 2 bacon, 2 eggs & some mushrooms
L: 2 slices grains & seeds bread toasted with some pate, pear, mullerlight yogurt
T: Cassoulet (brought back from France) & some seedy bread & butter.
Tea & coffee during the day.
