I had my first appointment with my diabetes consultant today after waiting for 4 months to see her having been diagnosed in February that I was type 2. I initially had a hbA1c of 59 and was put on Metformin and told it was in my genetics and have a family history of it. Now 5 months later she...

Thank you will do.

I have joined a gym recently and signed up to a beginners spin classes having never done it before however am not to sure what to expect and what to drink etc as I am a type 2 diabetic on Metformin so don't want to end up feeling really poorly halfway through it. Cheers

Hi all, just got my self back in the gym and as I work shifts I do it on my days off. What I want to do is try out park running, any tips for a first timer, i am a type 2 diagnosed in March this year. I don't normally do long distance very well but am keen to try and get in the grove and do...

Ha this is what I used to make mine. A good idea on ways to cook it. Mine turned out lovely and fluffy and very filling.

Figured out how to add it. This was my dinner. Chicken with Basel and sun-dried tomatoes with a bit of mozzarella then cauliflower rice with veg.

I only just done this last night funny enough after reading about it. I used raw cauliflower and grated it to the point I had one whole measuring cups worth so a far bit. I then added Peas, carrots and broccoli to it added a pinch of salt and pepper and microwaved it with some water for 5...

Blimey that is brilliant, some top results there. Guess doing it the right way is the way ahead. I have joined a gym now and done a circuit class and felt quit good and am now doing a kettlebell abs class and signed up for spin classes so am going to do it the proper way...blood, sweat and...

Thank you all, I used they before to help shift the stubborn body fat but now after seeing all your reply will do it the proper way. Just a case of getting use to being a type 2 and eating the right foods. Got a 1-2-1 session hopefully in a few weeks with a gym instructor to work out a plan...

Hi Guys and Girls, Before i got diagnosed as a type 2 a few years back i use to take Fat Burners, now i found they did work for me as i trained well and eat ok..ish but these helped me drop a a stone in around a month. However now i know i am type 2 i was looking to get back on them and am...

The forum allowed me to ask my GP further questions which has helped clear a few bits up, plus it has given me a good direction to go in and what is good and not good. I appreciate that it's different for everyone but it gives a greater understanding and a better direction to control it. As you...

My GP done that referral straight away for me, prehaps ask them. As I have said I'm quite lucky I guess as my GP is doing a fair bit for me. The forums are great I used it to funny enough as my GP some questions that I had seen pop up whilst looking through plus the knowledge of us who are going...

Well went and saw my GP he has told me that my diabetes is genetic not a life style issue, which in a way is a sigh of relief as strange as it seems (it is in my family but was my great Grandad who had it) Asked for a kit and he has told me not at the moment as he wants me to do regular blood...

I aim to drink a minium of 2 litres day, I have a 750ml bottle for bed so got something in the night and I have a 1 litre bottle I take around with me, I drink two of the 1 litre a day now plus if I'm at work for 12 hours I'll have that plus around plus around 3 or 4 cups of tea (about to back...

Haha sounds more of a headache then I thought to be fair and if I'm not going to get the value from it prehaps then maybe just see how I go with diet. I briefly looked and there are so many "experts" advice it is confusing hence why I asked. Have to rethink it. Thanks again, appreciate it.
