[QUOTE="opacity, post: 424594, member: 82913"] I came across this site while searching online for advice about my newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. It seems excellent, with lots of topics I was interested to read about. Am I your only Aussie member? I am female, 68, have had spinal surgery recently. (Fusion and laminectomy, L5/S1.) Before that, was very limited in ability to exercise, so put on about 15kg over the past couple of years. This is probably what brought on the diabetes, as I used to be very active. (Gardening, dog-walking, dancing, etc.) Now my spine is stabilised and I am beginning to exercise (carefully still, no bending), I hope to lose the weight and hopefully minimise the diabetes. I have already lost 2.5 kg in about 3 months by giving up chocolate and sweets in front of the TV, reducing carbs and increasing protein. I now buy sweets made with stevia, maltitol and isomalt, etc. to satisfy my sweet tooth. What a blessing they are! Cheers from Down Under. [/QUOTE]
