Hi I have my eye screening in a couple of weeks and wondered how long the blurred vision lasts? Thanks

Hi, been told that I can't use Jacuzzi's due to my type 2, and it's all to do with circulation. Is this true?

Well as a newly diagnosed T2 all I can say is that 'confused!' It's mind blowing for me to cope with what I am told are facts, and then, with what I am told are facts that contradict the first facts!!!!! If what you say about the professors links to food and pharma companies, surely morally...

Hi, and welcome. As a newby too I was confused with diabetes, (just fat people and sugar!) How very wrong.... I am still experimenting with foods and drink and exercise. Only diagnosed about 3 months ago. I am still waiting for my 3 months blood test to check what effect diet is having, monitor...

Well done! At my diagnosis I was 98 I think, and I've got my 3 month check up mid-January. I've made changes and lost nearly a stone in weight but still feel like I could be doing more, so come-on, spill, what's your secret? xx

Thank you for all the advice guys. Still a bit confused about it all but it's early days yet. Trying not to get disheartened about it and keep positive.

I live in Wakefield West Yorkshire and I've got a form from the local council which means I can get a membership to use council gyms, swimming pools and exercise classes. I was referred as my diabetes at the moment is diet controlled so no meds yet, but you can get the form signed for other...

Thank you all for the responses. I think I will get a self tester and see what's going on. Overwhelmed doesn't quite cut it! Scared the hell out of me, still in shock I think too. I am (was!) A chocoholic, and last week I gave away 2 crunchies that I had in my locker at work and it hurt like...

I was diagnosed with type 2 last Wednesday after a routine trip to a Lloyd's pharmacy and they spotted my symptoms. My blood test results for a 3 month average was 98. Nurse says I can try and adjust my diet and exercise for 3 months and then review it. Should I be testing my blood sugars or...
