Hi everybody hope you are all ok! First time on here so please be gentle! I`m the one on the left in my profile photo the other guy is TT legend John McGuiness!
 
Hello Jexy and welcome,everyone is gentle.you only have to ask and someone will answer.
 
Hi Jexy...we're always gentle :)

Can't really offer much advice as I'm new to this, but I'll give you a wave :p
 
Hello Jexy. The forum is brilliant. Have you been to the motor museum at Newby Bridge in the Lakes? They have a section devoted to your Tt hero John. They have film of him riding too. :)
 
Hi there and welcome.

I'm new too so great to see you on here.

Take it easy.
 
Hello Ian. Welcome. Are you newly diagnosed too? It is a really good site with lots of people with knowledge and first hand experience. :)
 
Hi there,

I was diagnosed as type 2 in early June during a spell in hospital. To be honest I found it a relief as I thought I had been so for a while. It's been an empowering process for me in that I'm now taking so much more control over my life i.e. diet and exercise etc. Plus, I've lost two and a half stone ( I was a big ****** to begin with!).

Onwards and upwards.
 
Wow thats a fantastic weightloss!! Well done. I was diagnosed 3 weeks ago and put on metformin. Ive started a low carb. I hope I can shift some weight :)

How much carb are you having? I'm just asking because I found it hard too, but since switching to lower carb high fat diet, the weight is finally coming off. There's loads of posts on the forum about LCHF diet - if you haven't seen them yet, you might like to have a read. It may not work - or even be an acceptable lifestyle - for everyone, but it's working well for me and others.
 
I dont think of it as a diet as I am not looking to lose weight but I have lost nearly a stone since June,my blood sugar has come down ,It was 5.2 this morning used to be in the 8s or 9s.
I just think of it as eating food that is good for me
On the other hand I went to school after the war years,we were fed a lot of bread and potatoes and I dont recall a over weight person in my school,they were no fast foods or ready meals.
