Anyone had a go at Fitstep? It's an exercise devised by Ian Waite and his partner from Strictly. Based on ballroom and Latin dances it is done in lines like a standard exercise class but is such fun! I also do a Zumba class and a Pilates session each week and definitely feel the benefits . There...

I agree with the do something you enjoy. Did just that,i.e. joined a zumba class for the old and uncoordinated, twisted knee and am now hobbling around doing even less excersise than before :lol: !!! Am hoping I can get back eventually as it was the only cardio excersise I have ever enjoyed! Do...

Thanks Diabell, I do have a meter but will have to start testing more often and moniter what I eat more closely. Have got away with no increase in meds for 6 years so should count my blessings. Do exercise as I walk everywhere cos I dont drive and do pilates regularly. Have gone up from 50g...

Thing that bugs me is that nothing has changed with regards to life, diet etc so now I think maybe I should start cutting things out of my diet but where do you start? Just feeling sorrry for myself I guess! Want someone to tell me what to eat and when, to make it all better!!!

I enjoy Pilates which is a form of exercise which tones your inner core wiyjout having to do physical jerks!! You work at your own level and pace, progressing slowly and safely. I love my weekly session and feel great when I finish and certainly as though I've done some work!!!!

Nanjay, I come under Sutton and have never had problems getting test strips.I have type 2 and am on metformin [2 a day] along with blood presure medication and statins! Yes, I do rattle if I jump up and down!Maybe I'm just lucky.

Cheam, Surrey, me! Was born in Brixton, South London and moved here a couple of months after I was married 32 years ago. Oh my god, is it that long??!! Not a bad area with Sutton as a fairly good shopping centre and Croydon within easy reach.
