With all the chocolate I've been eating I have been worrying about contracting diabetes.
As it can cause serious problems, healthwise, the thought of losing my legs is helping me eat healthier. |

"Just been put on metformin for diabetes 5 days before Christmas I was wondering how you cope this time of year with all the nice food and drink about ...."
Enjoy it all, but in moderation. Tbh, the chasing down of hypers and hypos becomes motivation in itself to not get too involved in the bad stuff, a lot of hassle that's avoidable. Prolonged high readings can promote Thrush.
You can also prepare in advance for the rise in sugars (not this year obviously) by reducing sugar's for a while beforehand. Good luck with it, don't let it get you down. |

I'm on diabetes related medication. What I tend to do is check my sugar levels throughout the day and if they're at a reasonable level I allow myself a treat in the evening over the Christmas period. The metformin will help to control your levels anyway so my advice would be enjoy yourself and don't overly worry about having treats just keep monitoring those levels. You will know when you've over indulged because you will feel it. Take care and enjoy your Christmas.  |

Everything in moderation (except spoonsful of sugar), watch your weight, eat healthily and Xmas won't matter if you blow out for a couple of days
Well, this is what a diabetic consultant told me, and as a result, through sheer hard work and discipline, I lost 9 stone
Want to try to shift another 5 next year if I can xx |
