..... about exercise. I have been trying to maintain a regime which I hope will assist in reducing my bloods out of prediabetic and into 'normal' range. As a result of my neglecting exercise I have found it difficult to re-engage with it. I am focused on weights presently (at home, no gym) as...

Review of 3 month interval bloods. Was 60 now 46. Happy. No meds (did try, metformin .... lasted 2 days, cure worse than disease thing), just diet. However .... it was ever thus, the however I mean ... have been recording finger prick readings for past 3 months or so and have seen a gradual...

Have carried the T2 thing around since about 2007 in greater/lesser degree and not worried too much about it, until now. With a bit of a high count on last bloods decided change of diet required and entered into. Now - food (good food) is my favorite subject and I am married to a fabulous cook...
