[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 135185, member: 1991"] Dreamer, I might be getting too little sugar NOW, although I do confess I had a smear of home-made strawberry jam on my wholegrain toast for breakfast. That was because I just couldn't face Vegemite this morning. Diabetes - it would have to be Type II. But the doctor said my fasting bloods were low enough, and it looked like that to me. I suspect a glucose tolerance test (GTT) would show a delayed return to normal BSL, which is indicative of pre-diabetes. Diabetes CAN be 'headed off at the pass'. I'm hoping that happens also; none of my family is diabetic, despite some of my siblings having really bad diets. One sister in particular, who I know eats all the wrong things... I suspect her liver is in bad shape and her alcohol intake wouldn't be helping either. She wasn't at the reunion, so I haven't caught up with her for a while. Last night I had a frozen fruit juice. It's got some natural sugars in it, I had it right after dinner so it should have been balanced a bit by the prawn salad sandwich I had (one slice of wholegrain bread). So I am getting a little bit of sugar, although I just had lunch early because my hands were a bit shaky. I tried to get my pills today, but there is mayhem in the village - they're working on the road and for some crazy reason, have blocked off access to the entire street plus half the neighbourhood around. I managed to talk my way through to about a 50 metre walk to the pharmacy, but it's no good if the delivery truck with my pills can't bring supplies in! I just sent a scorching email off to the authorities, asking for a bit of accountability and common sense. Never get between a menopausal woman and her diet pills! Anyone wanting to join me, feel free. But a warning - I am not an emotional eater. If you are, you need to get your emotional issues dealt with before you try to diet. And you know something? Because husband also posts here (as Marg's Man - hi, honey) you can be sure that what I post about my diet progress will be true. I won't be able to say I'm now slim, svelte and wrinkle-free because he will call me on it and dob me in to you lot. But if he tries to say I look like a wallowing hippo, then he's sleeping on the couch. Marg [/QUOTE]
