Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="NikiBlowman" data-source="post: 991258" data-attributes="member: 225897">Hi I've been Diabetic for three years now and it's changed my life. I'm not only managing my condition with lifestyle but I'm thriving with it! I've gone from hardly being able to walk down my high street to long distance bike rides and powerlifting/bodybuilding.... It's not competitive but keeps me motivated and active. I also find being surrounded by mirrors in a gym keeps my mind on my weight much more than it would just sat about. This allows me to make adjustments to my diet and exercise before things start to get out of control.... That being said it's not all easy going and does take a lot of dedication, commitment, and will power. For all that I have to thank my 4 year old son for giving me the courage and motivation to make the change.My hopes and aims in joining this forum is to learn more (as knowledge is power) and maybe along the way help others. I'd like to look into the possibilities of turning my passion for diabetic health and fitness into a career, but fear I lack the academic abilities to do so!</blockquote>
