[QUOTE="Ian_L, post: 1569151, member: 438545"] I was diagnosed with Type 2 last October 2016. I have come to terms with this, eventually. I would have been classed as obese as my hobby was weight training and attended a gym at least five times a week for circa 20 years. So in short I weighed heavy but with little body fat. I stopped weight training at 52yrs old and attended a circuit gym for 18 months and a personal trainer to 'strip down'. Having reached mid 50's I took up hill walking as my hobby and went frequently. Sorry to prattle on but this how this started. I completed a 16 mile walk in 27 degrees one day and felt rough for a couple of days after so off to the Dr I went and that's when type 2 hit me. I had a reading of 90 and started on Metformin. I was petrified and very angry. I now stand with a reading of 50 and I'm 3 stone lighter, my dietician states I still have 'muscle residue?' so I weigh a little heavy for my height. My BP stands at 121 over 68. And my trousers are a 32" waist, too much info? Any advice is gratefully received, I eat very little bread, only brown if ever, red wine and Gin and slimline is my only tipple and I nearly always cover 4 miles a day. My Nurse tells me to slow down. I am wondering if 32 years of shift work have contributed to this. Sorry for my ramble, still getting my head around this a little. Thanks Ian. L [/QUOTE]
