[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 961759, member: 209498"] Hi [USER=210207]@wolfie11969[/USER] and welcome to the forum. Getting the T2 diagnosis five weeks ago was a shock for me too though I was in most of the high risk groups and my mother had T2. I was in partial denial for 2-3 weeks, but have now come to terms with it, with the help of this forum. I have lost about 8 lbs since diagnosis by cutting out most of the sugar and sweet things I had been eating, portion control of carbs, more veg and fish, and exercise. I have been walking for at least I hour (about 3 miles) nearly every day. I aim for 10,000 steps per day (about 5 miles). I bought a pedometer to count steps, it also shows distance walked, kcals and grams of fat burned. It arrived Saturday morning and encouraged me to walk more, 8 miles on Saturday and 9 miles on Sunday. Exercise is important not just to burn calories but to help your body to deal with sugars more effectively. I am aiming to lose another 9 lbs before my next blood test in November. I don't want to go on diabetes medication if I can avoid it. [/QUOTE]
