Hello, I have just joined. I was diagnosed type 2 diabetic three years ago and decided there and then to change my life. At the time I was nearly 15 stones and I remember only too well being told my blood sugar was 18.0 at the time.
I asked my gp if I could do the 5:2 diet and he was ok with it so I read the books and started in earnest last week. Yesterday was my third diet day. This morning I weighed 13st 3lbs and my blood sugar was 5.0 so feeling happy right now.
