Hi all
I am a type two and I am 6ft and 82 kilos and quite fit I have never really been over weight last Hba1c 6.9 after 5 years currently taking 4 metformin a day.
I am thinking of upping my exercise and have seen a lot re having the right diet and also re taking supplements (shakes and the like). What do people think re the supplements or should I just use "normal" food? I would like to build up but am not into being one of those goliaths types eg I prefer to be toned/muscular to help my condition.
By the way since swapping from a very stressfull job to one which is far less stressfull I dropped my sugars from a spike of 7.5 to its current state so I guess that is an indication of what to avoid if possible.
