Hi, I'm Malcolm and just joined this group and live in Bedfordshire UK.
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 1999. BS control good, HbA1c 5.6, Cholesterol 3.6; BP 130/65. At my last review I was placed in the group of " 20% death rate in 10 years".
Weight reduction is all that will bring this down.
I did Atkins in 2002/3 with a lot of success.
However, needs must. I started Induction 12 days ago and despite various celebrations (birthdays etc) have dropped from 105kg to 98kg (15lbs) in 12 days. My aim is to get my weight under 88kg before August 2010.
