Welcome. I'm a long way away (Australia) but have found this forum very useful especially in the early weeks. Have got on top and getting right numbers now - owe a lot to this forum

Fasting and after shower etc, I have been 4.5 to 5.8 for the last 29 days - real happy with this. Seems to be in the higher range if I eat fruit after dinner, in particular oranges.

It's winter in couple of days - temperature is still 26C today and overnight was 16C. We live in a wonderful climate. We still rug up and use a doona, sort of pretend but it does get cool for a few days every year. Heading up to Cooktown, almost at the Northern tip of Australia, for 2 weeks...

I live in a sub-tropical climate and berries, except for strawberries, are very seasonal and expensive. On the other hand, Mango, banana, pineapple, oranges, mandarins, melons are all plentiful and relatively cheap and I have always eaten them. As a new type 2 (as result of steroid treatment)...

In good old Queensland, Australia, going to be a stinker, 34C today - last kick of summer I hope. Autumn has not yet appeared but nights are cooler. If interested in bad weather suggest check out "Vanuatu Cyclone"on You tube - those poor people.

Thanks John - great site for great info - I did no know that there was a slow release version

Thanks Sooty, I'll mention that to my specialist when I see him in 2 weeks

I have been on Metformin for 4 months and was always extremely tired, nausea, and dizziness. I took it upon myself to cut my dosage from 2 tablets a day to one in the morning and I have been off the extra tablet for over 8 days and feel a lot better. I have since informed my Dr. Has anyone...

real sizzler here today - going to get to 35C, but cool change coming this afternoon. Sometimes the thought of some cold weather has an appeal, but house is designed for this type of weather and I don't think that Aircon will need to be turned on. S.E ..Queensland Australia

Bright sunny morning - expecting 28c today - 2nd day of autumn. Weather man predicts? a hotter than normal autumn..l Just so long as we get not too many days below 20c.

my problem is - where do you get the energy if you have extra light breakfast? If I go to the gym, obviously going to burn up lot of calories, a no or low carb breakfast is not the best thing, so it is bacon eggs or similar. Before I be came Ill, for 30 years I walked 50 - 60 mins per day...

This morning - 2 weetbix, 6 strawberries and 150ml low fat milk made into smoothie, 1 slice 5 grain bread toasted with sugar free spread. Other times bacon and eggs, scrambled eggs with salmon, 1 slice Toast and low fat cheese.

How can anyone live in Singapore and not eat the beautiful tropical fruit - those little pineapples are so good. Where I live in Australia, my mango tree was just dropping fruit everwhere so had to relent and eat (quite) a few!. I was a very big fruit eater and find if I don't get my sugar...

Living in a similar area, I remember those thunder claps coming out of a sunny sky. And, the dew falling inside on the red tiled floor when the humidity reached 100%. I'm going back 60 years. Where I live now, the humidity can get pretty high , in the 90's,. but it is only occasional . I...

S.E.Queensland Australia. 8.12PM Tuesday, 24C at the moment. All cyclones now gone and apart from few early showers, the day was fine and sunny. With about 20 inches of rain over the past month, the mower will be working hard

Looks like we missed most of it - poor people up north have lost houses and businesses - Cat 5 cyclone not to be taken lightly, luckily no one killed or badly injured but 1000's without power and cut off with flood waters

Had over 12 inches of rain over last two days and now waiting for tail end of cyclone to pass over - they say in about 4-5 hours - with another expected 3 - 4 inches. Not a problem if there is no wind. Temp 25oC, so very comfortable

Gold Coast Australia, 2.15pm - temp 28C, slight breeze, blue sky and lots fluffy clouds. Just back from my 58th Wedding Anniversary lunch - grilled octopus, grilled Mahi Mahi and a desert I won't mention as should not have had it! It's a wonderful world out there and I love where I live and...

Hi Doriand, I'm new type 2, brought about by a medical condition that requires me to take very large dose of Panafortelone (starting at 100mg per day, but now down to 37.5) and it has caused me to become diabetic. Finding it very hard at my age to change . The information I'm getting from...
