[QUOTE="wendypendine, post: 1045194, member: 132190"] I have type 2 and was on three different medications for it, 18mths ago I weight 16st. I joined slimming world and for the first time in my life joined a gym and began to exercise now at 69 yrs old I am 11st 6lb and need no medication for my diabetes & I no longer have asthma, I swim 1/4 mile a day, do two aquarobic sessions a week, 1 hydrorider session, kettlebell, circuit and boxercise training and two or three structured gym session a week. Before I could not even get to the top of the stairs withour stopping. Whilst it hasn't cured my bladder cancer or thyroid problems it has certainly been totally effective on everything else. I really believe everyone diagnosed with type 2 should be trying Slimming world as it is not just a diet it is the lifestyle change we all need. I began my change of lifestyle feeling like a fat useless old woman I now feel and look years younger and am enjoying life again., I would advise you to join at the same time even if you only need to lose a pound or two so you can fully support him on his journey to better health. One of the good things about SW is once you reach your target weight and for as long as you stay within 3lbs of it you do not have to pay for the sessions, which gives you ongoing support for life..
