Yes I watched this programme - I was in disbelief that they both ate so much sweet things, I can only take from the programme that they did not care about their health enough to take steps to improve it -- Hands up here because I am not doing well right now and have been struggling for months...

Desmond - ended up sitting in silence because I was asking questions and not getting any answers

Thank you - yes job did require a lot of standing and I had to get a move of office to reduce this to allow the ankle to heal. Thankfully it is improving, I am walking on it without support now and I am doing exercises to improve the strength. I am finally not living in constant pain which was...

Thank you everyone, I have been to the doctor who has said it is a sprain and that because I am in a seasonal job understands I cannot take time off and we are now close to the end of the season. To explain further I work 6 days a week around 50 hours, I strapped up the ankle to stop the...

This may sound a little daft but I sprained my ankle almost 3 months ago - I am still strapping my ankle up to go to work. I need to start to build up strength in my ankle and having not been able to do much in the way of walking or my usual exercise, I am at a loss as the best way to improve my...

So informative and so helpful - I did really well and things although really slow were all going in the direction I wanted - then Christmas and tried so hard not to give in but failed - thought oh well get back in the new year ---- how wrong was I - now we are almost in July and I am still...

I also suffer when stress kicks in, I am not good at dealing with stress no matter what I try - so I really just have to try and keep eating the right foods - I am taking Metformin as well but my levels have been way too high. Thank you for sharing your situation, it helps.

B: Greek Yogurt and one breakfast biscuit crumbled up and stirred through + cup of coffee L: Cheese Salad T: Unknown right now!

8.0 This morning -- first time I have tested at all in a while - trying desperately to get back on track - so a starting point - not great but it is what it is.

Thank you for taking the time to pass on good advice. I will try and be a bit kinder to myself and I will try and come up with a few ideas on good meals that might help me rather than day to day..... Life has been stressful - moved home and into a new area so lost close friends and building a...

Hi All, I just wanted to admit that I am really struggling to get back on track - I just do not seem able to avoid the carbs, I am back to square one with the cravings. I feel like a failure - I had got things going so well and then slowly things have slipped and now I am feeling really out of...

Do keep dipping into the site and read lots of posts - it does help. I agree with what has been said already and I consider myself work in progress. My tolerance of any carbs is low and I do struggle to keep it low - what is going on in your life can impact the control I have personally found...

I felt the programme did imply that every type 2 diabetic has done this to themselves - that being overweight is the only reason. 800 calories a day is a really daunting thought to achieve - with or without medical support and I do not see my doctors being able to offer the support. I will...

I love pork scratching's - just cannot always purchase them but is about the only thing I really enjoy. I snack on nuts whilst at work. When in need of something for a dessert - a cream filled eclair - I peel off the paste/chocolate and eat it - on occasions I use some sugar free chocolate...

morning everyone 8.2 today - still no improvements but did stay on track food wise yesterday - so I am putting the reading in part down to stress levels!
