Thank you Tayelola (what a lovely name). I most certainly will keep the flag flying. My goal is to help and inspire others. For too long t2d has been classed as a progressive disease (in fact when I was dx my nurse said that to me), it really does not have to be and nor should it be labelled so...

Ahhhh Mrs T, I miss you. You are such a positive force and so lovely. Thank you for your kind words (great lighting and good makeup ;-) is all I will say). I will indeed keep sharing. It is my mission in life I feel. Just had a very busy couple of years so not able to do as much as I used to to...

Now there is a great success story right there Peter, well done. You have taken the help and advice and it has turned things right around significantly. I absolutely love reading posts like this. Thank you for sharing. Keep up the fantastic work.

Hi Lamont, good to hear from you and thank you for your kind words. Isn't this a wonderful forum indeed, one of the many positives to come from the world wide web. All that information in the palm of your hand. My poor mum was only able to follow the advice from her HCP (no internet back in...

Hi Rachox - I will reiterate what I have just said to Shelley. You were one of my guiding lights and I will never be able to thank you enough for the time you gave to help me and so many others, and still do to this very day. You really are an incredible lady. An inspiration. Yes LC is very...

Hi Zand, right back at ya! Thank you, I will keep on trying to help as many people as possible on my own journey.

Oh Shelley, you were one of those wonderful members who guided me back to good health. I went to the doctors with what were obviously diabetic complications, a very worrying time for me indeed. I thought it was something sinister. You gave me such great advice and I took it onboard and low and...

Thank you for your kind words. I love being in control of this and in remission. Long may it last. I do class this as my greatest success in life apart from my children/grandchildren. I have surprised myself on how focused I have been to be honest! Yes I have had bad days here and there (for...

Thank you for your kind words. So sorry to hear about your mum, she went through so much :-( and it looks like you have been through the mill too. It would be a game changer if they did offer CGM's or BG monitors for all diabetics and pre-diabetics wouldn't it? Saving Government money not doing...

Well done you too, good to see you in remission with low carb and keeping active, isn't it wonderful taking back control? Good to hear back from you.

Thank you. Seems an age ago! On auto pilot now with t2d #remission. Needed help at the start. Love to help others now.

The 8th December was my 8th diaversary. 8 years since my type 2 diabetes diagnosis. I remember that day so well. Floods of tears. Heartbroken. I could only focus on what diabetes had done to my beloved mum. Stroke, kidney issues, registered blind, ulsers on her legs that wouldn't heal. And so...

Fantastic results there @Rachox - well done. Thank you so much for sharing, it's very encouraging for so many to see how well the help and guidance offered on this site works. I for one will be forever grateful to you and many other members for their help. Let's hope that when the new NICE...

Thank you for your kind words. I still have to pinch myself to be honest. Well done to you too. We have found what works for us re controlling blood glucose levels which has stopped the need for medication. Long may that last. What really brings this home to me is a family member, who was...

It was all the success stories I read at the start of my 'reversal adventure' (love the description) that inspired me and the reason I share mine. Listening to the experts on here gave me so much hope when I thought all was lost and my future would be bleak. Could not be further from where my...

It is heartbreaking hearing this, Your diabetes nurse encouraging you to eat everything in moderation, especially as you had told her how you had lost weight, by lowering carbs. The official guidelines advise mirrors what your DN said sadly :-( As much as we know what we SHOULD be eating, life...

Can you not yellow card it yourself - my father in law had a shocking reaction to his Astrazeneca in January 2021 and I reported it myself? Hope you are keeping well now.

I've never had a covid jab. I had covid symptoms at the end of 2019 (flu like which lasted from 26 November until 18 December on and off - 3 waves - kept thinking I was getting over it then ended up back in front of the fire freezing!!!) and as soon as covid antibody tests became available to...

Hi @SB6 So sorry for the delay in replying, it’s just been one of those weeks! I am so glad that me posting this update has helped you and given you hope at this challenging time in your life. This is exactly why I posted it, to give people hope, so thank you very much for taking time to...

This forum is simply the best. How could it not be with the likes of yourself on here, giving so much of your time to help others find their way. Wonderful resource.
