Hi Scott, I was originally diagnosed last October with type 2. So did the low carb diet and lost 4 stone. Gave me the kick to loose the weight I very much needed to loose. After 3 months my hba1 had come down quite significantly so all was going well until this summer when hba1 shot up from...

Hi Scott wow so much to take in and digest (pardon the pun). I'm just on 2 units at the moment before each meal as advised by my nurse but due to go on the carb counting system soon. So for e.g. I'm going to my regular zumba class tomorrow evening at 6.30 (not been since diagnosed) so I will...

Wow thank you for that explanation I didn't realise the mealtimes insulin worked that long after I thought it was instant. So I guess it was like a false hypo and a combination of insulin plus food plus exercise. So when I do the gym is it wise to take my insulin then eat? About an hour before...

Hi Helen thank you so much for your reply it's so confusing at the moment. I was originally diagnosed as type 2 last October, so I got fitter lost 4 stone and am now a regular gym goer. I haven't had the confidence to go to the gym as yet since being diagnosed as I'm not sure what my levels...

Hi Ellie thank you soo much for your reply you have made me feel a whole lot better I guess mentally I need to get my head in a place where I can come to terms with it. I'm 45 and Ive seen 3 of my close pals battle with the big C so yes there are much more bigger issues out there. I love the...

Thank you everyone I'm just a little scared for the future as everytime I Google it it just comes up with how serious it is and that scares me. Feeling emotional today over it but I'm determined to not let it rule me I need to rule it. Need to get myself to the gym as it's been 4 days since I...

Aw thank you so much for your kind words. Yeah been a bit of a rollercoaster but basically they don't think I ever was T2. I've learnt so much about carbs over the past year and I've been sticking to under 100g a day but I understand I have to up it a little with my meals. I'm just so...
