Hi Clare yes of course I am still taking the medicine,I have some nice stuff that came from Germany it is Yummy,I also have some on my toast for breakfast, of course it has to be done as you say,we cannot have ice cream now when we take the dogs out as the beach we usually go to has been closed to dogs for the season so we have to go to another beach now which does not have any,what a shame oh well we will loose some weight won't we? love from Jenny M
