Feeling Inspired

Woke up this morning having been diagnosed with type 2 in Monday afternoon feeling very down and fed up! Also have a stinking cough and cold. After reading all these positive posts I have cheered up and can see a positive way forward! I have about three stone to loose, and am seeing the DN on Friday. Fingers crossed I can get control of this before it controls me. X

Great stuff! And a 3 stone weight loss will mean new clothes as well as feeling better!
 
Quite a few people appear to 'get cured' but very many control things well for decades. Although it seems like a blow to begin with, at least knowing gives you the chance of doing something about it. You have to feel sorry for those who have it but don't know that they have it. I have been able to return to a more or less normal diet with the exception of those little things that probably gave me diabetes in the first place, sweets, jam doughnuts, biscuits, chocolate bars and things like toast and marmelade.

On the plus side I can now walk up hills and ride a bike again.
 
Hope you get over the cold soon and stay positive
 
Knowing I am not the only one helps enormously! I just need to get my mind and body in some sort of order now. Have taken two doses of tablets, hoping they will kick in soon. Thanks everyone! X
