Also this is probably me being thick but can you use the lancets more than once - or is it use once then throw ( I'll need to get a needles disposable box as well wont I)

Hello all, on the advise of some peeps on this forum I requested a free contour meter and it came yesterday. Tried it straight away and it showed 7.4, think I was 7.1 when the nurse last tested but I'm not well and I'd just had a lemsip so didnt think that was too bad. ( BTW I have a phobeia...

Hi all well its 23:42 back from Blackpool very tired but did the 5K some slight jogging ( although that didnt last :0) majority was walking at a good fast pace. Did it in 55.2 mins which is pretty good for me so rather pleased. Todate raised £138.00 which I'm very pleased with and got a medal...

Thankyou Ken you're very sweet :0)

Re: Another one - my progress Well, I've been keeping a diary of what I've been eating and the excercise I've been doing. I think I've managed to narrow down some of the foods that make me feel sluggish and weird. Have now lost 3.5 cms off my waist line and have gone from a size 22/24 to...

Hello all doing Race for Life with my sister in Blackpool on Tuesday 14:07/2009 19:30. I've been working on getting my energy levels up for this race for about a month now. I was diagnoised with Diabetes just over a month ago and was shattered all the time. My hubbie Paul has helped me...

Hi, I've been doing about 15-20 minutes on the x trainer about 3/4 times a week and taking the dogs out for a walk every day.

The backs are yes and have been for a while , they seem fine for a bit then like today they swell and I get a blister , my left ones worse and it actually feels as if I've sprained my ankle. I might book in and go and see them next week if it doesnt improve.

Hello Janie here, I keep getting swelled ankles and blisters that are full of water appearing on the backs of my ankles. Any idea why? I'm on blood pressure tables and water tables and am type 2 but not on tablets as only diagagnoised June 6th so told to diet and so on. Diets going well...

Hey Ian that sounds great. Re my singing - I sing all my own songs as well as stuff my hubbie Paul writes. :D

I love the sound of a choir - what sort of music do they sing?

Hey all , just wanted to say thanks for all the great posts on this forum its certainly making my life a lot easier. I measured my waist today and its shrank from the start of the month by 2.5 cms so really chuffed. Anyway as some of you may know I'm in a band and we're raising money for the...

Hi Janie here I was diagnoised a few weeks ago as well - still not very happy and tired but geting there. Think you need to keep on at your docs to get an appointment with the nurse. The nurse at my docs actually called me on a Saturday and told me to come in on the Monday, since then I've had...

I always liked Madness and would have loved to get tickets to see Madness but couldnt afford the price . However do get to see a lot of unsigned live bands and play and sing in a band myself so get best of both worlds I guess. :P

Thanks everybody - I must admit to still feeling very down and finding it all daunting but good to know that theres support here. Went out walking with the dogs yesterday during lunch and been on the x trainer today mind you only for ten minutes which is slightly perfetic but its better than...

Hello I'm Janie another person diagnosed with type 2 - got the results Friday and since then I've been pretty down. I'm not on tablets yet as I'm 7.1 what ever that means however nurse is reviewing me in three months time to see how I'm getting on re diet and excercise and a decision will be...
