Hi I’m julieclarke I’ve joined to find out more about T2 diabetes

[Pipp]

No I haven't

It is exercises in the water.
I have arthritis, so it can be painful to exercise, but it doesn’t hurt in the water. It is fun, too.

Lemon cheesecake is a favourite rare treat for me. I’m not a big cake or pudding fan but like a good cheesecake

I do miss pasta (and potatoes!) but tend to avoid those now due to the carb content.

My wife sometimes makes a lasagne with cabbage leaves instead of pasta and that's pretty decent. I've tried some of the low-carb pasta alternatives and they're okish, but not as good as the real thing.

I tend to eat more turnip that potato now.

Hi @julieclarke .
From what you have told us before about your HbA1c and the Trulicity injections, it seems as though you are able to eat most things, without causing problems for your blood glucose. Not, many people with T2 diabetes could manage that. So, if you are happy with what you eat, and your HbA1c and finger pricking blood levels stay ok too, then I don’t think you should worry.

 

[julieclarke]

Ok
