Resist temptation, but buy a 4oz steak rather than a big slab, and oven cooked sweet potato wedges rather than pan fried chips oh and some salad on the side...

Also you can by diabetic icecream too Waitrose and Tescos both sell it, so you don't have to shit out completely 

[aaronjb]

so you don't have to shit out completely 

Although if you eat too many things sweetened with 'sugar substitutes' .. well, read the reviews!

(On a serious note, I agree with Al - just downsize the portions .. everything in moderation, as they say)

Including moderation.

Apart from smoking of course

you have to take metformin

Ive been taking the metformin cem and eating less , stomach shrinks with eating less or so im told  I haven't given in to the fags and still puffing on the inhalator but not getting the same kick as a smoke  Would a steak and chips be ok for a treat at the weekend say 

only for the weekend yes    but as told be very careful about the kidneys..  and some peoples system dont give dont give good response to metformin.. if you have problem with it  and if it continues talk to doc for another prescription.. there are lighter ones..

Emd, red meat (oily or not) will increase hormone production.. which then will trigger desire for smoke..


of course you cant stay hungry with a type 2 ..


but as you become older your bowel movements will slow down ..


to compansate you have to exercise and eat less ..  or if you eat same as before you have to take metformin or similiar things to decrease absorption ..  its a known fact that when blood sugar levels increase it also triggers desire to smoke..


also , when you gave up smoking your bowels will slow down more at first which later may turn to normal.. but if you continue to eat same as before you will gain excess weight which will worsen the picture for type 2


and get a blood glucose metering device and keep under hand..  so those who scares you with hypoglycemia will feel better

Mmm...some of the "advice" you are giving out Dr cem scares the life out of me.

Where? Daily Mail? Can we have a link please Chris?? 

[omega3000]

Still not had a smoke  7-8 days i think    I see in the news there is alarm about how much sugar people take and possibly addicted to sugar  My cravings have all but gone  Feeling a little better than i use to when i smoked , it will be a long process but you have to have the will to carry on

Research into a cure for Diabetes, something about eating more berries. Or what's in the berries, and red wine.

Doesn't spund too bad.

[omega3000]

I shall leave that to Rods.

Fail won't cover it anyway, too positive a story. now if it was found that there was no cure, that would be front page news

Still in its early stages of development but looks very promising.

Not too surprising a concept really. One of the theories of developing late onset type 2 diabetes is that you wear out your insulin producing cells due to eating too much. So, if you control your intake of food, then your diabetic control will improve. Question is how long for and what happens when you start eating too much again?
