Thanks everyone I really hope it can inspire others to do the same. It's never to late to better yourself. Even if it's just forcing yourself to go for a walk each day.

The nurse wants to take small steps I guess. She doesn't want me going backwards again so bit by bit reducing my meds. Although she did say most people it dose t do much for them. I'm scared of feeling like I did back last year so I'm happy taking it slow if that makes sense.

I think a lot of doctors don't understand diabetes. when I first went in and asked for blood tests about it they refused and said I was to young. but obviously I was feeling ill and something was wrong. but I was sent packing lol. wasn't until I moved doctors was I taken seriously. again I...

I remember the day clearly. 23rd December 2014 I was told I was a diabetic at the age of 33. My doctor told me no point trying to control it by diet as 99% of the time it don't work. Genetics along with my lifestyle was the cause so can only blame myself. I weighed 135kg. Hba1c was 88. And...

I should add my hba1c is 43 and cholesterol is 3 1 bad 2 good.

I made a post a while back regarding walking a little each day and how it benefited me. Since then I moved a step up so to speak. Training 4-5 days in gym. Doing this has had its challenges for me but mainly craving sugary things. I do resist but some days it's really hard lol. But more...

I was sports mad as a kid. I ran and ran I played football for hours and hours a day. I never stopped. I loved it. Different times to kids today I guess. But I grew up. I got a job and I sadly smoked. All that slowly became less important to the point I would use the car to go round the corner...

The way I look at it a mile is 15 mins of my life. And it makes me feel good. After a couple of days u might enjoy that time? 15 mins u can forget about everything and just enjoy the moment? It's never to late. But everyone has a right to live life as they see fit. I choose to push myself out my...

I made this post for feedback people's opinions etc. And also in the hope that maybe someone tries it and it helps them too. I'm happy with negative feedback also.

I'm making this post in the belief this could help people. Motivate people or even get people involved in what I'm doing. 2 months ago my car broke down and it was to much for me to afford to repair. The gear box went. Not that it's important lol. Anyway that forced me to walk 1 mile each way to...

4.8 this morning. 5.2 afternoon.

Thank you. It means a lot to help. But the reward for hard work is feeling great. That's worth anything surely? I hated the low days feeling unwell and tired. It's a rut and hard to get out of. But the weather is improving and people have lots of chances to get out and enjoy the rain. Or sun if...

I will do, I'm happy to go slow and see how things go. It's a long road. As long as I keep improving I guess it would be the process to reduce my meds until I'm off completely?

I will say I feel like I'm a test subject now. They taken measurements and things they didn't bother with before. And gave me their personal number to keep them informed with blood lvls etc.

Well I am on medication, I was feeling really unwell until 4 or 5 days after I started taking victoza. 2 grams metformin and 1.8 grams glitgazide. A day. I started to feel good, was able to start walking 2-3 miles a day which I run 4-6 miles now. Not very fast mind u. I did tell them yes. But...

Thank you all for your support. [emoji847]

Strict balanced diet. Minimal carbs. But still have some. And lots of exercise. Do lots of walking where before I would have drove.

Thankyou.

Today was my first check up since December. I had blood test Feb 15th. My hba1c was 89 today I was told it was 43. Cholesterol was 5.9 and again told today it was 3. Bad cholesterol was 1. She also said I've lost 15kg since December also. My diabetic nurse was in shock at the turn around. I...

I think this goes for all people diabetic or not!! WE ARE WHAT WE EAT. If u choose to eat unhealthy then on your head be it! In the end everything catches up with you in the end. I will say we only live once. You should enjoy life. But also take it seriously.
