Hi..I was diagnosed T2 just before Xmas (great huh?)..and was waiting to get onto the DESMOND course but I’ve started it online via a link from the diabetes team ...they mail it to you. Might be worth considering if work is a problem.

Thank you very much!!!..I get cramps pretty much all over it eases sometimes but never goes completely away..I’m now on metformin to try and help but it’s not really any better...your answer has given me a fuller understanding of what is happening...thank you[emoji4]

I’m not as strict as ketogenic (yet..it might come!!)..but am careful to count carbs etc..and I’m shocked how many are in foods☹️

Thanks..I’m waiting on bloods coming back so fingers crossed they’ll show some reason for it!!!

It might well be the case of sugars..mine are up from what they were initially and I’ve totally overhauled my diet and am doing swim 22 amongst other things ...just had bloods done which I get back next week...thanks!!!

Thanks very much !!!...my daughter is actually deficient in vit D as a lot of people round here are..I’ve never been proper tested.Just my first return bloods taken and I get the results next week..but I’ve been testing myself , radically altered diet to a drastically lower in carb/sugars one...

Thank you..tbh when I went to the doctor in the first place I just thought I’d a deficiency and that she’d test bloods, give me a supplement and that would be that...as it is I’m months down the line and no further forward!!!!...

Hi everyone, a funny one but I’m wondering if anyone can relate and advise...i was diagnosed type 2 just before Christmas which I wasn’t expecting...I’d went to the drs because I’ve been having these muscle spasms almost continually for the last couple of years ..but they’d gotten to the point...

Yes...the pasta is very much the weak point!!!!...my local supermarket does a good selection of vegetable “pastas “ and “rices”..I’ll definitely give them a try...:)))..thank you

Exactly!!...this is my fear..that by following the general “healthy diet” I’d do myself more harm than good, I’ve not had the Desmond course yet..I’m waiting patiently!!...si hoping I have it before the next diabetes spot in February, I’d wondered if they’d have more advice on different...

Thanks..I’ll give these a try!!:))

Thanks very much!!!...I know I’m going to find it hard to lower my pasta intake..but other than that I’m quite happy to part with the carbs..if there’s a chance it might help out the asthma too then that makes it a lot easier to swallow!!...and I’ll google the coffee!!:)))..thank you!!!!

Same!!!...the longer I eat “healthily” the worse I’m feeling...and weight is just continuing to creep up!...I’m going to go low carb and eat to address the diabetes rather than trying to lose the weight by eating the general “healthy “?diet..it’s clearly doing nothing for me...reading all of the...

This isthe exact problem I’m having..and the one I tried unsuccessfully to get across to the nurse at todays appointment..eating generally healthily is not going to cut it..otherwise I’d not be diabetic at the moment. Her advice was don’t become obsessed with your diet, you can eat everything in...

Thanks for the advice:)!!!...I’d thought I might have to get my own meter etc so really that’s no surprise..I just kind of felt I was being advised there was no need when o think the exact opposite..otherwise how can I know??!!..typical day of food firme would be coffee in the morning (sadly...
