And I could apply this one to my weight loss which never happens fast enough! Joking really, I know it's better to get it done slowly but oh I just wish that sometimes it would just go away and stop bothering me! :happy: "Everything takes longer than you think." Murphy's Second Law ;)

Thanks for that Andy! :) I just did it and it's quite amazing how long my list was. In spite of some not so good stuff at the moment, I do have loads to be happy and grateful for and you are right, it does start the day off well. Positive thinking is a good thing. :happy:

Hello and Welcome PoppyPetal! :) I am glad you have joined, it's never easy dealing with this is it? Exercise when you haven't done it much before is pretty hard and I find that the hardest thing is actually getting started. I have knees that can't take any impact really so walking is out for...

Good things about being Type 2? Oh yes, lots really. The best thing is not feeling like I am falling asleep all over the place all of the time! I mean for goodness sake, who knew that eating all that carb could be that dangerous? Getting my diagnosis explained why I felt so ill all the time...

Being T1 must be absolutely bloody awful! I can see that but before I joined this site I really had no idea what Type 1 Diabetes was all about but yes, it must be rotten having to pay attention to it all the time and one of things that has struck me is how much stuff a T1 has to cart around with...

Awww I know but honestly hon, is it worth the ill health? Or all the appalling side effects that diabetes can inflict on you? I can see that you are taking your diagnosis as being prediabetic seriously from the amount of msgs you have posted. You want to know about your condition and if you are...

I haven't had milk in months, not since cutting my carbs. There is carb in milk, a wee bit higher in skinny milk than in full fat. It will tell you on the label how much carb there is. If you use a lot of milk it will have an impact on your BG readings, depends who you are and what spikes you...

Yep I slip up every now and again but tiny cheats lead to great big cheata with me and I have learned that I just can't do it. If I do, it goes on for days before I can get back on track. :rolleyes: I do sometimes crave a lovely thick piece of white bread toasted with jam and butter and while...

Hah....:hilarious:

Hello Kevin and welcome to the best forum you will ever join! :) There is a place on here dedicated to pre-diabetes where can learn about your condition: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/category/prediabetes.40/ Good Luck and even if you have ended up here by a crooked path it was the right...

Good Luck Lynmi, hope the results aren't all bad. Let us know? :)

From school worked at the local council. Posh job that was, we came from working class factory people. Left there to marry, had kids, came to New Zealand with my baker husband. Ran a bakery business, very successfully. Marriage ended...yay!....did various jobs to support the kids and me then got...

Yep that's quite right too. I had this some years ago and had both hands done at once. It was pretty awkward as well, looked like I had boxing gloves on! Thanks for reminding me of that. I did think of neuropathy first though as it's commonly associated with diabetes and is worth looking into...

:D Bet you would just gorgeeeeous notned! And why not? ;)

Hah... replying to my own post :p I have just read that again and I have realised that that is just how my own dear partner is. He sees the mountains but I have never heard him say "I can't possibly climb that". Sometimes what he suggests in the way of a solution sounds absurd to me, I think...

Oh wasn't it though? I have watched that wee piece of magic 4 times now and each time I have ended with tears. It's just so beautiful. xx

Have to say this Anon bloke certainly gets around! ;) "To achieve the impossible, one must think the absurd; to look where everyone else has looked, but to see what no one else has seen." Anon :happy:

Hello Bev. The condition you describe sounds like neuropathy and isn't uncommon in diabetics both T1 and T2. It is caused by long time high BG's and damages the small nerves in the body. It can be damned painful too as well as causing those nasty pins and needles. The good news is that it can...

Thanks RRB, kinda need this one today ;)
