You can grow well indoors. I have an ikea two tier planter with cheap to run led grow lights that gives radish and lettuce as well as coriander and basil. I prefer growing radishes as they’re quick and the leaves make a great pesto too. Not much waste at all. You don’t have to buy a purpose...

Hi, yes, I’m T2. I don’t actually know what my HbA1c is. On my last review I was told it was markedly lower than my previous but forgot to ask for the numbers as I was asking lots of other questions. I’m going in again next week so will get all my historic numbers then as I think I will be able...

Thanks everyone for the advice. It’s all going to be included in my next phase - maintaining the correct fat / weight levels - I think I may have to lower my exercise levels a tad as I’m a bit to over enthusiastic - my watch says I burned 1500 active calories yesterday (on top of my 1400...

Darn, didn’t work as I would have hoped. I normally get a drop in BG after my 3.5 mile walk then the spike shortly after. Today I started unusually high on 8.5 fasting. Small amount of porridge fruit and yoghurt and off on the walk. Slower round than usual and feeling fatigued at the half way...

This thread is helping me understand a lot of what is going on. Bear with me, this is the short version. After ignoring my T2 diagnosis for many years I was hit hard by neuropathy last November leaving me struggling to walk and falling as my toes stopped moving and it moved to my legs. Long...
