[QUOTE="kay1165, post: 1607788, member: 449155"] Evening Guys, Dave here. Just being diagnosed this afternoon by my Doctor following wellman check and several blood tests. Thought it was coming, however surprised when Dr said that I probably had the condition well over a year. Got to fetch the tablets from the pharmacist in the morning. Don’t drink or smoke but admit to being totally inactive apart from chasing my two grandchildren around. Job does not help and most of the time I am on the road up and down the UK roads and motorways as part of my role. I am keen to drop the weight about 18stone 6'1" tall, so ideally would like to lose a min of 3 stone. Understand the need to exercise, but I suppose diet is key. Years ago I did try the Atkins diet and lost quite a bit , notice that a low carb diet is good but would welcome any comments about going back on the Atkins or something similar? Completely new to this situation and more than willing to give it a go, so any advice would be greatly received. Dave [/QUOTE]
