No secret methods, hard work and perseverance but if I can do it you can too!

I found some great hacks along the way that meant the new “diet” was much more palpable.

My Story


I hope to one day “reverse” the diagnosis that I received a few years ago and move into remission (no medication just diet to manage blood glucose levels). Taking control back and live a healthy life style, or at least healthier than what I was doing prior.

I am not a health nut and this is an honest approach what worked for me my journey, the highs and the lows.

When diagnosed I wasn’t sure where to start, I did a web search and was bombarded with various sites telling me lots of information a lot of which was medical. All very good information but not as east to digest as I would have liked.

This blog is the result of what worked for me and I hope for other people, no more no less.

My initial source of research was Diabetes UK, they have a great site with a lot of information including a community in which you can post and request feedback. Please also consider bookmarking this site too.

It goes without saying if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
