Thanks Mo

Thanks for that Bernie I too intend to walk a lot too. I'm currently doing approx. 18,000 steps a day on my pedometer so anything near to that in the heat then I'll be happy.

After recently being diagnosed with type 2 and losing almost a stone already I'm wondering what I'll be allowed to eat and drink on my all inclusive holiday coming up next month! Has anyone in same situation as myself been on such a holiday and if so how did you get on?

Hi I've got a certificate for free prescriptions for life so I may hang on now until my next doctors appointment next week.

After only being diagnosed a couple of weeks ago I'm still a little confused about what I can eat and not eat! I'm currently eating green seedless grapes and blueberries. I also buy a lot of banana's and sometimes pears. I'm type 2 and currently taking 500mgs of metformin twice a day.

Its ok I get your drift thanks.

I'm just a little confused as to what's a good carb and a bad carb relating to diabetes. When I went shopping last night I wanted to buy things that were either sugar and salt free or low calorie things. So for my breakfast I bought Shredded wheat, Weetabix and Fruit and fibre with 1% fat milk...

Hi. I've just started taking 2 x500 mgs of Metformin.

I asked my nurse if I needed to get a blood sugar testing device for which she replied no! She gave me another blood test form plus a pot to pee into in readiness for my next appointment on the 24th February! So my question is why wasn't I offered a device to test my blood sugar levels?
