For years now, I've been on the edge, sometimes my 12-week monitoring blood tests show me as over the measure for blood sugar, and sometimes under. It's always close. I've also been gaining weight again recently, after successfully dieting a number of years ago. Despite daily monitoring, I have yet to understand why some days I am 4lb (nearly 2 kg) heavier than I was the previous day. These are the occasional jumps that cause the problem. Smaller increases are usually recovered.
Diet
In my original dieting, I cut out potatoes and bread as advised by my GP and was careful with a number of other foods. I also changed my breakfast from Shredded Wheat to porridge. The result was that I got down to under 13 st (about 82 kg), losing about 3.5 st (22 kg). My appearance changed, and people I knew began to be concerned. I Now find that on the rare occasion that I eat bread or potatoes, I have an uncomfortable digestive system about 3 hours later. Other foods, though, I am less careful with now.
The programme
So I have now been signed up for "Healthier You". The initial emails came through on 14 October. I have read through the material provided. There is nothing new in it for me, only the approach has changed. I have to be honest here and say that I am EXTREMELY sceptical, even cynical, about such programmes. In my entire life I have been on training courses to learn things quite successfully, but never been coached in this way, and my very few interactions which may be considered similar have not been successful.
The programme tells me:
DEVELOPING TYPE 2 DIABETES ISN’T INEVITABLE.
Yes, the block capitals are theirs. We will see.
So, now, I await their call to get me booked on their 'programme'.
