Type 2 and also on Levothyroxine I am also having weight problems - as in finding it difficult to lose any. I have never been so active, aqua aerobics, gym and daily walk. I am due another blood test at the end of this month for blood and thyroid levels. I don't have a problem being on...

Today I just discovered a Cherry and banana tea! .... The packet is German and I have also been given a pack of Lemon Cheescake flavour tea .... I may become a connoisseur

New guy taking the aqua aerobics class tonight .... Its not supposed to ache quite as much as this .... is it? :eek:

Is there another nurse in the practice you can see? I have seen the DN once, but am generally seen by my doctor who openly admits I could teach the DN things about diabetes and how to go about dealing with it. Could you just see your GP?

Quite happy really today. Cycled to/from sports centre (approx 30 mins each way) ... did aqua aerobics too. Came home - did a blood test (7.1) then, because I could not be bothered, ate a meal replacement shake and tested 2 hrs later. Result = 5.0 Very good Monday :) Oh ... forgot to add...

Great results there Ally - well done!

There can be many reasons you are finding it hard to lose the weight .... - as the others have said above - diet: What type of things are you eating - moving: are you walking? exercising? - are you on other medications that may stop you losing weight? - have you had your thyroid checked? As...

As others have said, diet and exercise are key - together with monitoring your own levels. I was diagnosed at 141% .... but only a few months later am doing better. Just remember that everyone is different and what works for you, might not work for others (and vice versa) we all have to find...

Good luck with this

This morning I shall be walking down the beach - apparently there will be an attempt at a record for building the most sandcastles or some such ....

Hi .... at least you have found this forum which is really great in providing answers to your questions and if you have a good look around, there are so many sections of it which will be able to help you through As you can see from my signature - I was only diagnosed a few months ago, and my...

I know I have thyroid issues which is why I find it difficult to lose any weight ...but do you do a mix of exercises? Cardio, aerobic and the one where you say cycle fast for 1 min then cool down for 3 - then repeat (its supposed to be really good)

They would possibly look at upping your Glic ... but as Avocado Sevenfold says, is there anything in your diet that can be tweaked? Exercise?

Not having a mini magnum for a desert after dinner - I used to love them, especially in weather such as this ....

Need company? That sounds like a great plan - just wish I had a garden .... :)

I think the important thing with those fitbit type things is to set yourself achievable targets - I don't reach mine every day - but 6 out 7 I do ... Saying that, I cycled down the prom into town and back again ... 40 mins total in this heat - phew

I am another one whose readings are all over the shop at the moment - I reckon its due to the weather for me as I am not eating differently to usual Good luck

You just found out ... I would also be wondering about the person who told you this and wonder about the motive for doing so ...

Is it easy enough to avoid seeing her in the future? I just hope that you have a brilliant GP to make up for her. Failing that, there are so many knowledgable people on this forum who can provide answers and suggestions to questions you may have I would buy a testing kit if I were you, no...
