Forgot to mention that my diabetes is being treated with diet and exercise only.

Hi all, I have in the past few weeks, started running as another way of keeping my type 2 under control. I saw the nurse today who was very pleased with my progress, unfortunately there was one question she couldn't answer, can I take glycocyamine supplements? As I have started running I have...

Hi Yorksman, I do try to do some harder walking whilst on my own, my main reason for the evening walk is to help my good lady, who has hip and knee problems, so she works hard and I shout motivational advice every no and again :D But, during the day, or when I get a chance I take myself for a...

Quality, and a good enough excuse

A fair weather walker..............what a disgrace :D :D :D :D :D :D

Hi all, I took my reading just before tea at about 16:30 and it was 8.6. I then ate, veggie sausage red onion pepper and a little bit of packet smash stuff. Half an hour after dinner I went out for a 1.5 mile walk with the good lady, at her speed, so no records were broken. I took my reading...

Hi all, I found out I was type 2 about a month ago and got a tester on Thursday. I have started testing first thing in the morning, just before dinner and then 2 hours after. I just cant seem to get the numbers down. I have cut down on the portion size for my meals and I also take more exercise...

Speaks a man from experience :D

Thanks for the advice. I have a very newbie question. What are the lancets? Are they the thing that pricks the finger.

Thanks Brett. To be fair I don't mind buying one. Is there one in particular I should look for. I imagine you can spend as little or as much as you like. I know it's a terrible subjective thing to ask though :-) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
