4 months since my diagnosis - I have lost a total of 2 1/2 stone (35 lbs) or 15.9kg.
My life expectancy has increased by about 25 percent and I am no longer pre-diabetic!
I have started to fit into clothes I've not worn in over 4 years, my asthma isn't as bad and I am gradually getting my strength and flexibility back. I am so happy, I could cry.
For those asking how I managed it, the biggest culprits in my life are pastry, white bread, white pasta red meat and chocolate. Whilst I haven't completely cut out chocolate, I have limited it and upped my veg especially spinach, which I love.
I found it really hard at first but the little changes over time become habit and seeing the difference has made it worth it.
