Good luck to you. I just think it's mental that the way it works (suppressing appetite by making you feel full and slowing gastric emptying) can also be sustainably achieved by drinking tap water and eating £2.50 worth of fresh fruit and veg every day.

I despite what folk believe eat a healthy diet and always have had loads of veg etc. my issue is booze, crisps and sweets when pissed.

one quirks of diabetes is I was eating too much fruit (I have always eaten loads of fruit as I like the taste) and that was causing issues with sugar levels. 
 

@Zico I believe it is a thing you are on for life if it works well for you diabetes treatment. For example in America they prescribe the pen I use instead of tablets etc. 

one thing that does have to be monitored is as you get slimmer (natural part of a deficit) your requirement to lower sugar reduces as the body can cope better so you have to adjust everything. There needs to be more work into supplements needed to avoid problems. Sometimes tho problems from some medication may be better than problems of high sugar etc

I paid to see a private nutritionist. She gave me some tips that helped. Pick a low calorie high fibre food that you dont mind and get a bowl of it eat while you work. If youre going to the pub have a pint of water beforehand. Basic easy stuff but helped me.

You drink your first pints slower.

Is that a good thing

Surely, you go to the pub to drink :)

However that doesnt mean it wasnt ever stuck in china...any news on that?
