Had a diabetic check with the nurse at the new practice. She still hasnt got my history so I gave her a quick run down. She was amazed and pleasantly surprised by the before and after pictures. My weight has definitely stalled 85.6 but round my belly button has gone from 50 to 41 inches. So I may not losing actual weight it is moving around. She was pleased I was going to Elderfit classes.

I’ve beaten diabetes — and lost 4st into bargain
Jane Akshar, 64, is a former IT consultant. Widowed with one 28-year-old daughter, she lives in Barry, South Walkes. She says:
Shortly
after having my daughter in 1991, I was diagnosed with Type II
diabetes. By 1998, I’d been put on insulin injections and was having to
inject myself four times a day. I thought that was simply how my life
would be from that point onwards.
It
was a friend who mentioned last summer that there were diets where you
could reverse your diabetes and at first I thought he was talking
absolute rubbish. But I looked online and found that it was true. "

I checked with my local surgery that it
would be safe to embark on the diet and they couldn’t have been more
supportive. Although it doesn’t sound like many calories, I found the
diet really easy.

I’ve now lost nearly four stone and at my last blood test I was told I’m no longer diabetic. It’s incredible
I
was having things like scrambled eggs and smoked salmon for breakfast,
salad with chicken for lunch and then some other meat with vegetables
for dinner. I was never hungry.
With
my diabetic nurse’s help I gradually reduced my insulin injections as my
blood sugar came down and in July of this year, I took my last
injection.
I’d gone from 120 units a day to nothing. I wanted to skip out of the surgery because I was so happy.
I’ve now lost nearly four stone and at my last blood test I was told I’m no longer diabetic. It’s incredible.
I thought I’d be a diabetic for life but it just shows it can be done by anyone at any age.
I only eat one meal a day – such as sprouts with bacon and toasted almonds – around 5pm and then nothing else for 24 hours.
I
don’t find it difficult at all. If you’re eating the right foods, which
contain fat and protein, you find that you’re full up after one meal
anyway.
If more people did this we would have more money in the health service.
I’ve now lost nearly four stone and at my last blood test I was told I’m no longer diabetic. It’s incredible.
Roy Taylor says
Will this plan work for you?
Your
odds of remission from type 2 diabetes through diet are a ‘dead cert’
soon after diagnosis, they drop to 50/50 in the first ten years, then
fall further.
But remember that
sometimes a 100/1 outsider will beat the odds. We’ve seen people who
have had type 2 diabetes for more than 20 years reverse their
condition.
No matter how long you’ve had type 2 diabetes, it is never too late to give this plan a try!
So I am 100/1 outsider!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keto Recipes from Diet Doctor
I love Diet Doctor, ok it is American but you can adjust it for the UK. I like that it plans your meals for the week and shopping list. I am also doing intermittent fasting which is easy because you wait you are hungry and then give your body a rest until the next day. If you want to know more about this it is all on the diet doctor website including some great videos fro Dr Jason Fung on intermittent fasting.
Today it is 17:00 and I am just cooking my dinner. I last ate at 9pm last night so 20 hours without food. The health benefits are enourmous but dont take my word read what Dr Fung has to say.
These are some photos from my food prep
This is the recipe I am following and the adjustments I made because it is for two meals/two people and what I had in the fridge after shopping. I found spring onions were a replacement for scallions for example. Tescos dont do scallions
I then input those quantities into a free app on my phone called carb manager. This means I have a record of my actuals.
Then I follow the method.
As you can see keto has lots of vegs, but the right veg. And here is the finished result
The contents of the entire pan are 11 grams carbs and 785 calories!!!!

Being ill
Having a bad cough and cole over Xmas and New Year wrecked havoc with my blood sugars. Loads od 9-14, illness does that to diabetic. I kep my metformin at 2 but have now gone down to 1. I have changed doctors. stayed with my old surgery because the wonderful diabetic nurse and I wanted to work together but now I am no longer diabetic (Tee Hee) and it is a year since I moved out of catchment I 'fessed up. The new surgery is so close to home it will be a joy to get there. I have had a booking in appointment and changed my blood forms so they will get the results.
Still plateauing on weight loss but following Diet Doctor keto menu plan. Gosh the food is gorgeous. Hopefully I will get of the plateau
