Thanks, I'll take some photos later. looks like I'll be making many more over the coming months etc

Thanks so much, my passion is cooking, ihave all those preconceived ideas that you mentioned regarding healthy eating. I think a bit (lot) of re-education is in hand for me. Do you reccomend a glucose monitor for type 2? If so, I'll order one now, any recommendations for a decent one? Thanks...

That's cool! I love Alice Cooper! I have started to make old British Railway signs, I'm not a train spotter or anything like, I just love the nostalgic element to it. I'll post some pics when I get brave enough, haha.

I think you have just described me to a tee

That's very true, the motivation is different this time. Thanks to all the responses and shared experiences, I feel very enthused and ready to go. I am ex Army and have lost a bit of that determination and will power over the years, However, this time I can feel that, " I must, I can and I...

Do you think I would need a monitor for type2? Do you reccomend any?

I need to put the glass down for a few months dont I? You are doing great, thanks for the advice and support

Thanks for sharing that with me, I am inspired by your story! You have a lot of determination and will power. I usually get all geared up and then the wheels fall off !! Hopefully, this time, I can refer to your dedication and keep going, just like you. Well done by the way, and thank you

That sounds more like me...... I can change to this without too much alteration. Wow, I was unaware of the liver link too! I have fatty liver disease and I'm just waiting for a new scan date to come through. This might shed some light on things. Can I also ask, when you were first diagnosed...

I love a nice red, too much in fact . I also enjoy lots of greek yogurt with blueberries or raspberries. Plenty of tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, chilli peppers etc. I guess it's about redesigning my diet to create recipes without the less desirable (or appropriate) food stuff. I eat loads of fish...

My diet is generally ok, plenty of fruit and veg, low sugar/salt. I love to cook and particularly Mediterranean foods....... to be honest, its more the alcohol that's the problem, though I'm new to the diabetes thing so I may well be wrong on the food side (unfortunately im pretty sure I wont...

Thanks so much. I'll give the Vatican a call or tweet @pontiff and see what happens

Thanks very much for your reply! I'm sure I'll have more to ask as I begin this journey. So if 48 is the magic number, 54 is the wrong side ☹. As you say, diet and exercise for me now, d'oh!!

Hi, newly to the whole diabetes thing. Looking for some advice and help. I was told that I was prediabetic 12 months ago. Nothing much was made of it all, two weeks ago I was told that I am now at the low end of T2 diabetes and needed a further, fasting test which I had this week. My Hba1c level...
