By the way - I don't know if you have pepssi max in the US, but I like it much more than the normal diet one. Helen xx

Re: Doctor's OrdersI had the same warning about 10 years ago (aged 55) and became very wary about sugar, etc. Watching my weight is the main thing that I do. It keeps me borderline but never over the line. Those sugar free chocs, by the way, don't help with weight watching in my opinion because they seem very high in calories.
My first reaction (just a warning here) was to go for all the products using aspartame instead of sugar. In particular the sugar free mints with a hole. I found out the hard way that they are laxative. Bea; 19 hens (most of whom I intended to get); 6 bantams (which I never intended to have); old Benji dog and young Toby dog (who I definitely wanted). Three years into country living and loving it.
Re: Doctor's OrdersNever touch aspartamine, heard lots of bad things. Also it affects my TN.
Therefore I never have any of the fizzy drinks diet or not. http://www.busheyk9.co.uk
If you can't be a good example........ you will just have to be a horrible warning Re: Doctor's Orders
My OH was diagnosed diabetic about 15 years ago. He had a boil in the middle of his forehead that wouldn't heal. He also kept having his crowned teeth keep dropping out. Plus the usual weeing a lot. Be very careful though with any sweets that are sugar free as they do give you the trots. I know him now when his sugars are high as he gets very short tempered.
Re: Doctor's OrdersBest of luck with all the changes you're making. I'm glad you've had some warning & have the chance to sort things out

Re: Doctor's OrdersThanks everyone. I have read your posts with all seriousness and will return to read them often to keep myself organized. By the way, p.penn, I had my very first Pepsi Max today. Not bad at all. Since my doctor talked with me, I haven't consumed ANY sugar. I know carbs turn to sugar, but haven't eaten or drank anything made with sugar. I want to join your dieting posts as I'm sure there is a world of info and support there.
Re: Doctor's OrdersOh AmLady, so glad your doctor has highlighted things for you and you're taking action. Wishing you the very best of luck with everything
