I am a bit of a duffer at food and a creature of Habit. Yesterday ...... For Breakfast. small bowl of blueberries and a nice BIG dollop of Lidl Skir Blueberry Yoghurt. More Tea than is really sensible! Lunch a trip to Bohemia Restaurant in St Neots. Two sausages, Two poached Eggs, Avocado and Spinach (Raw) and a Latte! Diner. A fresh Tuna Steak and Salad followed by an Apple...

I sometimes have a generous helping of double cream on my breakfast fruit. With one or two exceptions I use the rule of "Grown above ground" for Carbs. BG tends to be mid 6's in the morning on waking and then going into 5's in the day if I am sorta active. A bit of good exercise can drop it into the mid 4's. About to have my second Annual MOT. Probably put on a couple of kilo over the year so looking to correct that. There is more fat in my diet so cholesterol reading will be interesting.

The one thing I have found is that once the "cold turkey" of diagnosis passes and confidence in diet and food returns its a long process of settling down into a regime that works for YOU. I was on two 500mg Metformin a day but I am now on just the one checking to see if Breakfast or Evening Meal works best for me.

Running WITHOUT has worked my BG settling high 5's or 6's and if I binge a Chinese it can go to 7.3 or so on waking. I am chatting with the doctor about the benefits of staying on one Metformin rather than non as I have fatty liver and I am sure the Metformin has been a big factor in me losing a good bit of weight!

Like MOST I am guilty of NOT making time for regular programmed exercise so the bike is coming back out just a trip round the town every day and stopping for that compulsory Latte.. works!
