7009 since I did so much walking earlier this morning getting to the doctors and then work from there :) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I'm reading something a colleague passed to me after a conversation about us both loving the Game of Thrones books. The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson? Only about 30 pages in so no idea whether it is any good but I think I trust my colleague so should enjoy it. Also just finished reading The...

Getting to the end is a good goal but I'm sure you'll surprise yourself with how well you do :) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hale - that is awesome. I am considering signing up for one too although it's not until September and is just a fun run. I did it last year but half ran, half walked it. If I do it this time my goal would be to run the whole way. Well, my version of running which is probably closer to a shuffle...

My fingers are still have a little chub around the mid section. What is your secret? :p Do you do any special finger workouts? Haha Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

You got your target for yesterday, well done. 561 is not bad for 7am! I just worked out (strength training) so I'm at 710. Doctors appointment this morning so should pick some up walking to the surgery and then to the bus :) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

10227 for me. My after work walk sorted me out, plus I got a couple of errands done :) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Haha oh dear about the no scissors office! Still Just Dance is a lot of fun. I'm **** at it though, I imagine I'm doing awesome and then get a useless score, not that that matters. It's fun just dancing like a loon. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Well boo to that, stinky boring office. What happens if someone runs with scissors? :o I'm sure you'll figure out other ways to sneakily increase your steps. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I'm at a desk too hale. I've been at this for a week now though so have been building my steps up.... Today through getting off the bus a few stops early, walking the stairs at work (down always, up if it isn't too many flights) and I also nipped out for a quick walk at lunch. Plus I never ring...

Ooo check you out! I shall have to get a wiggle on and try to keep up :) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Alas, I have a gadget addiction myself. It is a very lovely gadget though! It's telling me now that I'm at 4400 steps. How are you doing? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Mud Island Dweller, That is the fitbit. They send you an email once a week giving the stats for the pervious week and you can also check in as often as you want on the web or app (You need a certain level of phone for the app to sync - iPhone 4S and above or Samsung Galaxy S3 or something, it...

Thanks for the welcome fatgenes! :) Indeed, I am quickly discovering that there are lots of helpful lovely people on here. Glad I stopped lurking! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi carra, I have a fitbit and have worn it everyday for about a year, although not always consciously paid attention to the numbers. It is remarkable what just being aware of your activity levels can do. I think on an average day, even with my workout I would get around 6000 steps. For the...

I gave the nuts a try this morning and my by came down on the way to work. Going to bite the bullet and do breakfast at home tomorrow so fingers crossed. Thanks everyone for their advice and comments! Much appreciated :) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Thanks Carol, I shall maybe try contacting Accucheck for a metre as I find my lancing device quite painful sometimes. That's very helpful to know, I think I saw someone else mentioning the multiclix was gentler than a lot of other lancing devices. I think I'm probably going to buy a codefree...

I shall have a look around some more and see whether something else meets my needs but honestly, I think I might just bite the bullet and get the SD one. I can still keep using both for and if I find the readings massively off then I can chalk it up to experience and pay for the more expensive...

Thanks Daibell, the thought had crossed my mind after reading up a bit but I wasn't really sure of what signs to look out for if it is LADA and not T2. I am overweight though, just not overweight enough to generally fit in my doctors expectations of T2 at 30. I also do not have a family history...

Thanks Pavlos! For some reason that option wasn't there before my first post. It just had "Mark as Read" and "Subscribe" so I was really confused. It's appeared now so I won't have that problem again. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
