[QUOTE="suffolkscouser, post: 341270, member: 49169"] Hi Dee I was diagonsed last October type 2. No symptoms at all! I have high blood pressure and it was picked up at an annual blood check. I take 2x Metformin per day, have stopped eating anything sweet and drinking beer (apart from Christmas and NYE and my birthday etc) that was the hardest thing! Now on red wine at the weekend and trying to reduce carbs, but not really done that mich about it as my blood sugars are pretty good. Down from 15 (fasting!!) to 5.3 this am and peaking about 6 a couple of hours after food. As said above everyone is different! I lost about 1 1/2 stone after diagnosis, mainly through not eating so much and eating better (although my diet wasn't bad before hand!) and going for a walk every morning. I was prety unfit, so started walking for about 20 mins per morning and getting about a mile in to start with. Now up to 3 mile in 40 mins and I love it. Get out about 6 am and its dark and quiet. Able to do that and get back to the rest of the day feeling better than I did before! Give it a try and see what you think. Don't go mad and join a gym, it doesn't work unless you are a completely focussed person and will change your lifestyle completely! (I'm not!!) Keep reading this site as well. there is loads of info on here that is really useful! All the best! SS [/QUOTE]
