I take metformin and find it really good but my body can only handle the slow modified release version.

Well done Chris, keep up the hard work! Hopefully we can both be successful with WW as I have a fair bit of weight to lose :) x

Thank you for all the nice comments and advice, I have decided I am going to start WW this Tuesday and see how it goes. Need to lose weight and get healthy but I'm a super fussy eater which makes things difficult sometimes. I wish everyone success in their journeys I have been diabetic for 4...

Hiya Beth my names Kayla, I'm 23 and have been type 2 for about 4 years. I know it can be hard sometimes as people who don't have diabetes or know anyone who has can be so ignorant and rude towards it, I come across it a lot even with older people. But anyway I'd like to be your friend and maybe...

Thank you for your reply, thankfully I don't plan on buying the actual weight watchers range due to price as well as what you have said. I'm an extremely fussy eater and mostly will be following a vegetarian diet anyway as the only meat I like is chicken breast which I have on occasion. I have...

Thank you again for all your support and advise! Thankfully I'm not a big drinker at all so that isn't really an issue with me. I've started talking to my fiance about feeling down and it feels better to get it off my chest really. Also I saw my doctor too but she said to give it another 6 weeks...

I was just wondering if being diabetic other people have ups and downs? I tend to have my good days and bad days but have been feeling rather low lately and haven't been able to shake it. My nurse told me that this can happen being diabetic, does anyone else experience it? I'm only 22 studying...

From my personal experience I've found it best to avoid alcopops and such as they have so much sugar in you wouldn't believe. The only good tip I could give is try not to mix your drinks stick to one type, I use to go out drinking before I was diagnosed and found it really hard afterwards but...

This post is really interesting! I'm currently trying to have a 'lifestyle change' rather than a 'diet' as such. I've tried all sorts of different diets such a slimfast which does not work good for people with diabetes and I actually ended up in hospital I was so ill. I've also tried slimming...
