Hi,
I was diagnosed type 2 last year, have managed to shed 3 stone and am now down to 14 stone, now controlling with diet alone. Looking for others to chat to, maybe to join up and do some keeping fit now winter is here if you are local, I am based in Taunton, Somerset. Not looking forward to trying to keep weight down over my first real winter so some help required. I'm a 40 yo married dad of one btw.
Send me a message if you like, love to hear from others in same boat.

I'm a 62 year old Grandma, but I have found Health Walk groups to be ideal for keeping fit. And there are health oriented classes at my local authority sports centre, which are not too expensive. I do 2 Good health Walks and5 assorted classes per week.
Check out your own local facilities

Hi Steve - Welcome to the forum.

I'm a Type 2 also who was diagnosed nine years ago. I've sorted my condition out over the last twelve months - almost entirely through dietary changes. Lost weight too but it was the changes to the type of foods that I was eating that gave me my improvement.

Good luck and best wishes - John
