hi guys ,
I was diagnosed last week , phew and what a shock ,, I think I am still in denial a little . I have a lower back problem and haven't exercised for years , and I have been walking ,and have noticed a real difference every day. I can finally get up a small hill . The first day I couldn't I was so out of breath , but im doing ok I am 17st I have lost 10lbs in weight , I have cut all the rubbish out , coke drinks , chocolate, crisps , the junk food lol .
im eating things I never used to eat , lots veg, fruit, nuts I cant get off the wholemeal grain bread that is what I noticed pushes my blood sugar up , I try and have a couple of dry ryvitas instead . im looking more into the GI foods .

its a hard start I just hope I can do this for the rest of my life , im still battling , but as they say Rome wasn't built in a day . :wave:
