I have joined the local gym and been doing treadmill, exercise bike and rowing machine exercises in order to increase insulin sensitivity.
I thought it might also be a good idea to enquire about the council's Healthy Lifestyle Services - basically more exercise and better diet
The first thing I explained was that I was T2 diabetic.
My better diet solution is apparently to each a balanced diet of 5 a day fruit and veg, 5-8 portions of starchy foods, 2-3 of protein, 2-3 of dairy, and 0-2 teaspoons of fat and sugar. I also need to get more fibre from cereals and eat regular snacks to maintain my blood sugar.
I have been speaking to someone offering health advice who does not know what diabetes is.
