Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with T2 a year ago and then changed my diet and took up exercise (gym) on a regular basis which enabled me to lose 13kg. Since April this year, i had a nasty fall and hurt my back so couldnt exercise for 6 weeks. I then started slowely walking 2-3 times a week. Then...

Green & Blacks it is then.

How does the saying go? Too good to be true! Thank you....will consider trying them maybe once a year lol. I empathize with you @ExChocoholic i used to live on them! #staystrong

Hi all. Has anyone tried the Boots 'no added sugar' diabetic range of sweets, chocolate and biscuits? Is it all a gimmick or worth a treat once in a while? Its loaded with sweetners so not good? Interested to know your thoughts. My eyes lit up when I was in Boots yesterday and saw the chocolate...

Wise words @Rosbif I actually dont like dark chocolate but a little of what you fancy goes a long way. Thanku!

Me too @DR123 ....roll on summer!!

Thank you guys...that really helps and i dont feel so bad now. 2 pieces of dark chocolate after 3 months of choc free time is ok (compared to daily milk and white chocolate i used to have pre diabetes).

I just ate 2 pieces of thorntons dark chocolate mint....good or bad? Does anyone else crave then instantly feel guilty after comsumption with the words 'the odd one wont hurt' floating in your head?

Just cold..very cold..and ive lost 2 stone since diagnosis. I feel like an old woman sitting at home wearing thick socks and a blanket lol :)

Diagnosed with T2 last Aug...i have now noticed my feet are always cold esp my toes! Anyone else feel the chills?

Ive never had itchy scalp or dandruff before being diagnosed and taking medication...thats why i thought it could be a side effect from metphormin as it started soon after taking the drug. I do change my shampoos anyway and have done so for years. #mystery

Thanks for the replies...ive checked and its not nits...i recently had a check up with doc and BG is at a good level. I will certainly look into chemical free shampoos. Itch itch!

Morning all....does anyone else notice their scalp has become drier and itchy since being diagnosed? Is it the illness or metphormin? Its driving me crazy!!

Is it wise to eat dried fruit? Figs, dates, raisins?

Thanks for your comments @amgrundy Its really reassuring to know im not the only one. So sorry for your loss too!

I was diagnosed last Aug with T2 and although being overweight is the obvious reason for some people, i believe mine was caused by stress and depression following a bereavement. Yes i comfort ate and sat on the sofa most evenings but stress really was the trigger. Has anyone else been told or...

Its like walking into the unknown! Appreciate all your comments..thanks. Great app!
