I would take them but they're both post dinner slouching themselves :D Thanks for the input though...I've had a shower and hoovered and no longer feel tired...think it was just 'too relaxed' (perish the very idea :D)

Hi all, type 2 on LCHF and 500mg metformin once a day, just a quick question... I am normally lightly active and feel fine...today I've been out for about an hour walking the cats (don't ask lol) but really spent the majority of the day sitting on my elbows watching movies....BS is well under...

Mine was done at the local surgery, you should get a letter from the local diabetes team inviting you to the screening, mine was about 3 months (nearly) after diagnosis...I don't know if there is a time frame as such.

Hello there, welcome aboard :) glad you feel a bit better about the screening now, it's really not too much to endure...definitely take sunglasses with you, even if it's cloudy outside, the drops dilate your pupils so obviously you are letting in lots of light so the dark glasses make it easier...

B Bacon and scrambled eggs L Tin of mackerel in bile :D (brine) with some cheese D some roast beef and cauliflower with cheese sauce (mustard and marmite swirled through it) followed by Fage and cinnamon

I guess the exercise does help, I'm a bit lazy on a Sunday, so guess I'll have to do more everyday!! :)

Hi and welcome to unfortunately a ever growing club. Good to see you're positive about it...me too :) Have a good look around and ask questions :)
