...after all it's not as if I don't have enough stress in my life at the moment!!

Type 2 since..forever. Don't remember much about it, other than an off the cuff remark from my GP saying "Your bloods have come back & you are diabetic. You really need to lose some weight" Told to lose weight every GP appointment I've ever been to. No idea what diabetes was, what I was supposed to do, how it would affect my life.

Fast forward about 15 years. Bloods averaging 25, sometimes hitting "Hi" on metre, Found this site a year ago. Blood average now 5.7. Hb last month 37, (5.5% I think). Lost 1.5 stones. All due to you wonderful people with your great advice.

Now, if I can just work out how to do an avatar, perhaps I can stop being nagged? I hate bossy computers

Yay welcome!...another new member! I hate bossy computers too, but I gave in anyway. Looking forward to the avatar x
 
No we can't either...we all got silly messages saying we hadn't introduced ourselves. like we were new members, and now some of us (not me of course ) are being silly too. It's OK TITD, you're not really in a parallel universe...yet.
 
I give up. Can not do avatar. Picture too long, or too wide. Just use your imaginations...please be kind lol

Why don't you google a picture of smarties and save it to your piccies. Would that not be appropriate! :D
I am a middle aged old bag with a love of Sweden so I thought Hagar the horribles wife was ideal for me!
