Hey,

I was really good at controlling my bloods. I have diet spot on with diet and exercise.

But I have found the last weeks a bit of struggle.

I think it has been the lack of gym in Scotland has really got to me.

Any tips to get back on it.
 
It's been hard in lockdown.

What have you been eating, and are you testing?

Beastie_boy - what sort of thing do you need to get back on? Is it your diet, or alternative exercise ideas, both or something else?

I can't believe there would be one single person who would say they haven't had even the off "Meh" day during these last months. An awful lot has changed, and that's tough.

I'm sure we're all keen to help if you could maybe just give us an extra clue or two.
 
Looking at you profile pic, I’d say not losing ground would be motivation enough. Just look at some old pictures, put on an old pair of pants. Tough times I know, but you’ve come a long way.
 
Hey guys

For replying.

Basically it’s my diet creeping back into old habits.
Also my exercise has not been as good, just struggling to find the get up and go. To do it some days.

I think the gyms not being open in Scotland is hitting me hard now.

You could look at some pictures of diabetic foot amputations or think about blindness if you want some shock therapy?

Certainly keeps me on the straight and narrow. My worst fears.
 
And now there's the added downside that Covid seems to be worse in (uncontrolled?) diabetics....thats helping me stay focused
