[QUOTE="akindrat18, post: 2447477, member: 53120"] Hello all, It's been quite some time since I was last on here, so I will get you all updated. I'm type 2 diabetic (9 years) on insulin, metformin and victoza. Since lockdown happened, I haven't been taking my medication nearly as much as I should which is 44 units of novorapid and 88 units of tresiba. I only get 50 test strips a month and test in emergencies only. My diet has completely gone out the window as I still work at KFC and still have the food there. I've tried going the gym, but just don't have time for it and I'm always on my feet at work. Most of the time it's takeaways either a Chinese, Indian or PizzaHut which I had last night after leaving work. My parents have so much meat in the freezer, but they don't know what to do with it and we end up having a takeout, rather than deciding on what to get out the freezer. My mum has noticed that I've put on some weight and I have gone from 18 ½ stone to almost 21 stone. On top of all that I've had gravitational oedema for 6 months now from being on my feet for 10 or 12 hours a day and the doctors have only just put me on some medication for it and I've got to go for another retinopathy test soon as they found some damage. On the brighter side of things. I've got renewed hope as I will be leaving KFC after 4 years for a new job in November. The store is just shocking as it won't allow any other foods to be in the store, all because its a halal KFC and they can't even afford to put a mini fridge in the staff room. I wanna try and go low carb again as I just feel exhausted everyday now. [/QUOTE]
