    'fasting' or 5:2 diet ?

    Well done you - I too hardly ever lose weight - even two months on the hospital milk diet lost me as little as is possible.

    metformin and Vitamin B12

    I am a really bad Type 2. I don't test my blood often enough and am bad about my diet, and I take no exercise because I have very sore arthritic knees. I have been depressed for some years now (all the pills, counselling etc I have had do not help) and feel rubbish, which is why I can't be...
