Hello, I mainly inject in my stomach (not always convenient to inject in thighs at work as I don't want to end up injecting in the toilets). I DO vary the place on my stomach, but I've noticed that over the past few months, my stomach seems more "flabby". No lumps or bumps from injecting. I...

Hello all, After being moved onto insulin (Humalog 25) in June, I noticed (at the end of August) that I'd put on about 8lb. Deciding to nip it in the bud, I've been low carbing (50g MAX - most days I come in at 35-45g) & started to excercise more. My non-diabetic friend decided to join me...

Hello all, Am a T2, diagnosed for approx 3 years. In an attempt to lose some weight & get a bit healthier, I decided to try a low calorie diet. In 5 weeks, I lost a total of 12lbs. Was also going to the gym 2/3 times per week. Reading through comments on these forums, people were raving about...

I was due to have an appointment next Friday (31st) with a Diabetes Specialist Nurse to be put onto Bydureon. I have just been informed that my appointment has been cancelled as she will be off 'sick' next week. 'Fair enough' you may think........BUT...........I work in the NHS in the SAME...

As a reformed chocolate addict, I decided to go on a low-carb diet. Am only a week in, so not a lot to report so far. I have recently discovered Atkins chocolate bars - very low carb, very low sugar & high protein. They are pretty substantial & taste VERY good (have to keep an eye on myself so...
