Hi Everyone

I am Audrey, a married female, aged 68 living in Bedfordshire, England. I am a new member. Just a few answers to the suggested questions are:

I used to have 2 dogs I adored but they are no longer with us now. I don't play sport now but do go to exercise classes. I use to play tennis and squash a long time ago. My favourite Music is still Pop although I enjoy all sorts of music. I make sure I exercise every week about 3 times as I like to think it helps with Diabetes. I was diagnosed as Type 11 about 4 years ago.

I have been camping but in an organised tent or caravan - not one for the minimalist holiday style or put up your own although I like self catering but only in decent properties these days. We go to France quite often and have stayed in gites, a water mill, a mobile home, villas - all great. I have also been to several States in the USA, Canada, Greece, the Caribbean, Italy, Spain. would like to go to Australia and New Sealand.

I don't work now as I retired fully 3 years ago. I worked in banking, the pharmaceuticals industry and later in Further Education.

I am hoping to find lots of information to help me on this site. I was a very good at managing my diabetes when I was first diagnosed and for the first 18 months but do find that I drift and lose motivation these days even though I realise the importance of eating healthily. I am too easily tempted.

I use Apple these days but have been a Microsoft user most of my IT life.

Best wishes to you all in managing your Diabetes.

So I stupidly ignored 2 years of warnings that I was pre-diabetic and should take action. 1 month ago I asked the doctor to take my yearly blood test early and according to him it came in at 50 (he didnt say 50 what, but I assumed it wasn't 50 elephants) A second test 2 weeks later came back at 48. In the meantime I had embarked on the start of what I have decided is healthy eating and not a 'diet'. I see a nurse at my GP surgery fornightly to be weighed and have a bit of a moan about the weather and other unrelated topics to fill up the 15 minute appointment because I like the nurse, she is pretty funny. Rubbish at offering useful nutritional advice though beyond 'eat less'. I wont hold this against her as she was a wonderful cheerleader when helping me give up smoking last year. My start weight was just over 20 stone and I have lost 18 pounds in just over 3 weeks, following the logic that carbs are pretty bad for me, (with or without the diabetes issues) and doing a smidge more exercise. I feel brighter and smarter and more focused than I have in years. 2 days ago I saw the diabetic nurse who listened to the changes I've made and put a whole load of booklets she had waiting for me, back in her draw. I assume this means Im on the right track. I have an appointment for what I suppose is a HbA1c blood test on the 21st and I have to pee in a pot (too much info?!?) My blood pressure is 130/90 which apparently is a bit rubbish and I might have to have a tablet for it if it doesnt come down within 2 weeks. I think it was a bit high because she'd just finished showing me that weird thing they test the feeling in your feet with and I genuinely thought th the little sticky out thing was some kind of needle. I was too flipping terrified of the answer to actually ask though.
I've spent the last 48 hrs reading thirstily as much of this forum as I can and I think it may well have stopped me from having some degree of nervous breakdown, for which I am very grateful!
