Just did my blood check 4.6 I only do it once a week now! I am delighted a few years ago I was hovering around the 18.5 and although I was on 4 Metformin a day the Diabetic nurse said I might have to go on insulin injections which brought home to me how serious the situation was.
So after doing quite a lot of research, I decided to give a low carb-high fat lifestyle a try, there were many success stories'
I lost 6 stone in weight am no longer on medication I believe at the very least it saved my limbs and possibly my life.

Well done! I love those inspiring stories first thing in the morning. Step by step, meal by meal, day by day we can do it. I didn't feel at all to go for a healthy walk this morning but after having read your message, I managed nearly an hour. Doesn't sound much but with that huge extra weight I am carrying, still an effort. (32 kg down, about 50 or 60 kg to go.)1
