Hi again guys Cold has passed . I have obtained a blood pressure monitor ( turned up in post yesterday) yesterday's reading was lowest yet 138 over 85. Is there a best time of day to take the reading. I have lost another 2 lbs not intentionally but have been doing very hard work the last...

I don't feel suicidal in answer to jokalsbeek post. I made some swede mash (with a little carrot) and sausages and broccoli today really enjoyed the meal. Still feel grotty. I went for a 2.5 mile brisk walk today and that was good. I am lonely , an only child ,I live with my 87 year old...

Hi Guys I am now stuck with a cold and feel grotty. I feel low when I was initially diagnosed I felt positive and threw myself into a regime of exercise and low carb diet, positive I did not want to go on tablets. Loads of fry ups cheese and felt good did not miss sweet things but missed...

wow thanks for all your comments. I used the chemist because I did not need to make an appointment. How does bathing affect BP As regards alcohol I have to admit to being dependent on it especially after losing my partner. Some days I drink 2 bottles of wine. It helps with the loneliness, of...

I have been taking Metformin since last Friday, the practice nurse who prescribed it said my blood pressure should be checked. My local chemist check blood pressure so I have been in the last 2 days and it has gone higher ! 152109. She said I need to avoid caffeine whereas previously 2 mugs of...

Good Mood I did the park run in my fastest time this year , moreover I actually managed to sprint ( well run a bit faster ) for the line. Had butternut squash noodles and veg chilli topped with cheddar for lunch, I used to be so anti veg food but enjoyed it. If you had told me that I would be...

I took Metformin for the first time yesterday and have noticed I feel cold. I am not sure if this a side effect or due to a change in the weather. I did warm up when the sun came out in the afternoon but this could be the sun or the Metformin wearing off as I am on first week taking 1 tablet...

I will say that running on sand is hard going unless you mean the dead flat surface when the tide goes out. While saying that I would love to live by the sea. Just come back from 3 mile brisk walk had some food and taken my first ever Metformin tablet, waiting to see if I get side effects.

Just got back 3.5 miles under my belt and sun is coming out.

Better night sleep wise last night didn't wake until after 5 just had a coffee and going for a longer walk.. One advantage about going out early is little noise in the park. I like to talk to people when I am out as I have very few friends and get quite lonely.

Hi Guys Thanks for all the comments. I am not overweight just at the top of ideal weight band 14 stone 12 at 6 foot 5. I have blood pressure of 138 over 92 which I am told exercise will help, just I like jogging . I use a garmin sat nav watch to measure how far I go not really interested in...

I always wear good quality trainers and am aware that hard surfaces are not ideal . Luckily no bears around here ( if there were I might run faster ). I will risk the joints injuries for the benefits I get.. Thanks for your comments

I am trying to do as much as possible. I have loads of time on my hands at the moment. Yesterday I walked just over 8 miles when I finished was worn out. Intend going for a jog today of 3 to 4 miles. As usual can't sleep so thought I'd get up for a few hours.

Well at least I got off my butt today, walked over 3 miles might go for another one this afternoon. Sun is shining seems a shame to miss it before our summer ends. Had sausages eggs bacon and tomatoes when I came back but feel hungry again now.. thanks for all your comments I don't feel so...

I have been getting really fed up, not just with diabetes. I handed my notice in last week after changes at work made it too stressful, so am now jobless. It is coming up to the 2nd anniversary of my partners death and as a result of her passing and losing a job have had to move back to...
