Hey, We're just young at heart right? Who wants to grow old gracefully anyway!;)

Call out to all those who have been through the strain of diagnosis to share your experiences and help others in tonight's #gbdoc tweet chat on diabetes and diagnosis. 9pm www.gbdoc.co.uk Thank you :)

Dog walking followed by 30mins of splashing about in the pool, pretending to do some serious swimming. On the plus side I did master a pretty speedy doggy paddle. Good grief I sound like a ten year old!:facepalm:

Well done cold ethyl, You'll be able to bask in the glory of all your hard work in no time.:)

Wow Pipp! You're on fire!:joyful:

Hi Gingerbear1977, Your story sounds familiar - my husband was diagnosed T1 at 43 - three years ago now. Whilst your husband gets his head around the emotional side of diagnosis, try to help with regards to diet. If he is regularly running high, just make sure there is plenty of protein/fat...

Marieukxx, If you haven't already read it, make sure you take a look at this.http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/new-research-on-the-low-carb-diet-in-general-practice.53261/page-16#post-559500 . Read specifically #313 It could be that low carb is actually giving you more benefits than just...

Ahhh, Hang on a second, didn't you say you had been feeling hot all of the time? Try googling peri-menopause. It would be early to start at 35, but it can happen. Worth speaking to the doc about, just to get that checked out.

Gl Glad it's improving sanguine. Voltarol cream works well (just in case you haven't tried it). Bx

I've got the perfect exercise! Fill two large bottles of water and leave to chill in the fridge. After approximately one hour return to said fridge, thrust wide the door, take a bottle in each hand and lift in an upward motion. Repeat for as many times as you are able.:p:joyful:X

Two lots of dog walks - not a great day folks. I did manage a 35 second plank, and also did 10 burpees (are they called that because they can make you prone to flatulence?) I now have a cricked neck from doing some over-zealous hedge trimming yesterday. I am hoping that a good night's sleep...

They're not voluntary, we get guilted into doing them 'cos they're supposed to be good for you - only @sanguine has already put his back out, and @zand has lost the will to do more than 10 minute walking. I've got a cricked neck from hedge trimming, so I will have to rest my head on a cushion...

Wow cold ethyl, sounds like you're getting to see all sorts of results with your exercise!:)

Great day @Pipp!

Oi missus, How about a 10 second plank to make up for it tomorrow?;)

Lol! You sound like my hubby - it doesn't seem that long ago that he came in beaming from a ride only to declare he had made the last killer hill on our training circuit entirely in the big ring! Men!:facepalm::joyful:

With regards to low carb exercise/training, I thought you may find this interesting - particularly with your reference (@LittleGreyCat) to eating carbs during exercise and keto-adaption. http://eatingacademy.com/sports-and-nutrition/ketones-carbohydrates-can-co-exist

I think the 'granny gear' tip is one from riders who are used to cycling long endurance rides. A friends who used to ride with Team Novo Nordisk was clear that using a high gear on a hill is a bad idea - not only because it puts stress on your joints but also because it's easy to 'blow your...

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! :joyful: You and me both @sanguine ! I managed a feeble 35 seconds planking today, up from the paltry 33 seconds yesterday!

Great advice from @ElyDave there. To reiterate some things - getting your basal right will really help. Also obviously exercise as far between meals as you can. Some find that eating a lower carb diet also helps (generally because you have less insulin on board) Specifically addressing your...
