Hi All,

I am Gerry, 41 years old, from West Lothian in Scotland.

I was diagnosed type 2 around Four years ago or so and fair to say I probably buried my head in the sand for too long.

I finally started making positive changes in January and tbh I have started to see a dramatic improvement.

I wish I had stumbled across this forum earlier as no doubt I would have learned more quickly the effect of making these basic changes would have had.

look forward to chatting to you all soon.

Hello, and welcome to the forums!

I'm also a T2 (on insulin and Janumet 50/1000) but I'm based in the US so I might not be able to answer specific medical-type questions but I can listen to vents and applaud good efforts. Hope you enjoy the forums here.

One question - do you have your blood sugar meter yet?

I second @TooSweetForMe 's welcome, @gerrybhoy56 . Hello.
Your post has reminded me that I need to get my head back out of the sand and back up onto the beachhead that I took right after dx and can hold again, with the support of allies here.
