[QUOTE="Mlundie72, post: 1057087, member: 265121"] Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with Diabetes Type 2 in late December 2015. To be honest I have not received any advice from my the Diabetic Nurse other than she told me that I would be referred to a Desmond Day (I'm in the Fareham area, near Portsmouth). So far, I have had to research and find groups where advice is offered. I don't know if I am supposed to be testing my sugar levels now or wait until after this Desmond day on 30th March - just don't know what I am meant to be doing in the meantime and feel that I'm in the dark to be honest. Just to give you a little about me I'm 43 (soon to be 44), I have a rare bone disease, fibromyalgia and arthritis and now Diabetes Type 2 has been bunged on top. My weight was always around 10 stone, however with all the medication that I'm on and the reduction in my ability to exercise, my wait has slowly but surely crept up to 14stn 5lbs. I don't smoke, I very rarely enjoy a glass of wine and I don't eat take aways etc. In general I am a healthy eater although do enjoy a nice packet of ready salted crisps from time to time - and no I am not in denial, I have been following Slimming World for quite some time and it has been frustrating for me as I typically lose then the following week put on - and some days I am eating the same food! To say it is frustrating it is an understatement. So I have signed up to slimming world for the next 12 weeks, to give it everything I have and hopefully reduce my weight. I am happy to receive any advice that you can give me, as some help is better than what I have at the moment!! Thank you for listening to my rambles. Michelle x [/QUOTE]
