I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in July 2016, my HbA1c was a frankly bonkers 108! I was put on 2 x 500mg Metformin and given the talk about the consequences. Unfortunately my GP was shedding patients from outside their catchment area (I had been with them 40+ years) and had to find a new...

Even before my diagnosis this worked pretty well. If I don't have the bad stuff in the house, I don't eat it. It's that simple. It does get easier but like anything there are good and bad days.

Greetings from a guy in his mid-40s who was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Well actually I had a suspicion I had high blood sugar, had the blood test but was told my levels were normal, only to be told a month later I had been given the wrong information! However, I took it upon...
