Diabetes Week starts on Sunday 8th June and runs until Saturday 14th June and this year’s theme, set up by Diabetes UK is “I can!”

We want you to make a Diabetes Week resolution, something that you want to achieve by next Diabetes Week. It can be anything you like from “I want to have quit smoking” or “I will exercise 5 times a week” by Diabetes Week 2015. No matter how big or small, a simple change can make a big difference. Share yours!

I'm heading in the right direction and hope to use this week as a focus to achieving less. I.e. Less weight, less BGs.
Let's all go for it.




Late onset T1, several auto immune issues.
Humalogmix25 twice a day, Methotrexate 25mg once per week, FolicAcid 5mg once per week, prednisolone 5mg daily, Allopurinol 300mg, Calcichew-D3 800iu, Levothyroxine 50mcg, Atenolol 50mg, Losarten 100mg, Aspirin 75mg, Nicorandil 20mg, Nitrolingual GTN spray, Metformin 2000mg, Allimemazine 10mg, Lanzoprazole 30mg, Atorvastatin 20mg, Co Codamol 8/500mg, Depo Medrone (Methylprednisolone) or double Prednisolone for 7 days in case of RA flare.

being a diabetic and finding restrictions.to life style. people who do not understand the problems one has. not being able to afford to come back to uk for holidays as often, quite expensive. miss some foods that the French do not do. but can live with that French drivers. who love to tail gate. and they love to drive over the white line. in rural areas they are a pain. but get use to it. does put the wind up you. But driving in the UK found that drivers want to get as close as they can. and the traffic. it took me 25 minutes to get to friends house which was less then a mile away. due to traffic.

I plan to keep encouraging others to make changes to their lifestyle and eating habits

Flylady it !!!!!! She turned my life around in those areas she runs a nonprofit website if you haven't heard of her, for us living in CHAOS ( Cant Have Anyone Over Syndrome) she also deals with "stinking thinking" about yourself and how to FLY (Finally Love Yourself). Superb!

For myself, for the next year I am going to do 3 positive things every day for my health and wellbeing and jot them down last thing before bed.
