Not too bad a result considering Friday was a non day for me.
On the plus side just been to the docs and have been told that I am diabetes free, though I may develop it again in the future. So I am really pleased about that, particularly as I didn't follow any hare brained ideas of cutting out ALL carbs or to something ridiculously low, I simply followed the recommended guidelines for an average adult, swapped a few things around like sweet potatoes for normal ones, brown rice instead of white, almond milk instead of cows (no lactose in almond milk) to name a few. I cut down my portion sizes, and I exercised more making sure I generally got at least 6000 steps a day in. And changed snacks to healthy options. I still had cake once a week, fish and chips now and again and even the occasional illicit ice cream. So no extreme faddy diets just good old fashioned sensible eating and exercise which also brought my weight down by around 2 stone (28lb)
So for anyone struggling with type 2 diabetes "It is possible" but you have to change your mind set and stay focused. I did this within 6 months of being diagnosed and have maintained it.
