My name is Ruth. I'm not IT savvy enough to copy all the questions and answer them!
I have been on the edge of diabetes for a few yrs and fell off the cliff/was diagnosed T2 about a year ago.

My husband had diabetes and through bad management (his own & medics) developed major complications inc neuropahty,amputation of toes and other leg below knee, retinopathy , kidney problems etc etc. Went to meet his maker 6yrs ago.

You'd think I would have heeded the warnings, but ............. any way here I am having just found this forum.

I'm wanting to follow the Newcastle diet or similar but having trouble persuading the medics who put me straight on to metformin even though I was only just over the cut off point when first diagnosed. Also they are pushing me VERY hard to take statins, but I'm refusing. (Cholesterol 5.6 but bad ratio of "good/bad").

I'm a creative person, love painting, crafts, singing etc. None of which are particularly physical, so I'm trying to up my exercise.

I'm a Christian, ( faith filled NOT religeous) and I try to live my life according to God's rules for living.

I enjoy life as much as I can and want to do so as long as possible!

Hi. My name is James and I am 61. I was diagnosed T2 diabetic while in hospital for appendicitis. I am from a quaint little town called Corsham (10 miles outside of Bath) and I now live just outside of Portsmouth.
I am happily married to Dawn and we have been together now for some 23 years.
I’m not religious, but believe in good and evil. Someone once described me with an old Garfield caption, “I eat big, drink big and laugh big”, which summed me up very well. Unfortunately now, I don’t eat or drink as big, but I still manage to laugh a lot.
I have a Great Dane by the name of Oliver, who is nearly 4 and is close to the point of growing-up!!
I used to play rugby until I was injured and then took up water polo. I now have to get back into cycling, which I haven’t done for a few years.
Favourite music is Led Zeppelin, Eurhythmics, Thin Lizzie, Whitesnake and Barbra Streisand and many more.
I sold my boat last year so I am looking for a smaller version at the moment and we go out caravanning most months outside of winter.
I was in the Royal Navy for 27 years and loved every minute, left in 1996 and started lecturing electrics and electronics at Southampton and now Portsmouth.
I love Cornwall and Dorset and 2 of my favourite countries are Tunisia and Lebanon. The city I would like to visit is Rio.
I have a son Adam and a daughter Andrea, both were diabetic before me. My mother was diabetic.

 

[lgrenter]

Hiya! My name is Lee
I'm a primary school teacher from South Wales.
I am 44 years young!
Was diagnosed with type 1 when I was 11.
Have been on insulin injections all that time.
Have been quite fit, but had a series of bad hypos in nov dec last year due to catching chicken pox in school. Since then my blood sugars have been all over the place and difficult to keep level. Am seeing my diabetic team on 5feb to change to lantus insulin as well as discuss possible pumps......
Bit worried about pumps and what they will offer due to pipes and my job with young children!
I have been married for 20 years ....awwwwww x
2 children.
1 pooch
Like to laugh and chat to others with similar likes and dislikes x
Enjoy reading, cooking, walking, pc gaming, sci Fi (bit of a geek!)
Would love to meet new friends and keep up with diabetic news and help here.
