Hello everyone, I was wondering if everyone who is dieting does any exercise as well and how much/often ? As i was pretty big & unfit, I started a couple of months ago by circuit walking (level ground) for about 15 minutes. Slowly progressed since then to walking up a quite steep mountain road...

Hello Irene! Thanks for the hello and for your kind words. The pounds are coming off slow but steady so far. I just have to continue what i'm doing for the long run. Considering i don't have access to any support group or slimming clubs, i'm doing it all off my own back. My wife and little boy...

Yes, I know what you mean about the being naughty. For instance, at the beginning of last week i recorded my lowest weight so far. Very happy. But by the end of the week, i was having one of those nasty craving episodes. Sometimes it is cold fizzy drinks, sometimes cake. This time it was meat...

Thank you Ken! Much appreciated. I read your first post with great interest and i wish you the best of luck ( not that you'll need it ;-) with your efforts. Isn't it nice to find everyone here offers such good support to newbies? Best of British..lol BR Lozzo :greenapple:

Hi BlueCow, I was very interested to read your post as I faced similar problems of what to eat. My diet was due to recently being diagnosed with diabetes (July) and so I had to face up to getting healthy, losing ( a lot ) of weight and start regular exercise. I can tell you that your rules for...

Hi WickedWitch, Thanks for saying hello. Yes, i've also lost about 2 stone in 2 months and although i was very heavy at the start, i can feel the difference it has made and this is helping to give me the motivation to continue. Sometimes its a difficult balance i find. With the diabetes, you...

Hi Leanne, Hello and thanks for the warm welcome. Yes, all good advice. Actually my FBG was 5.2 last night and 5.0 this morning. So i can see that its going to vary quite a bit depending on what i eat. I guess i'll leave things for now and see how my levels continue Unfortunately, you can't...

Hi Claire-Bear, Many thanks for your kind words. Your advice on what i can do next is very much appreciated and i guess is similar to what i was also thinking. I suppose that because this is still a quite new situation for me, I assumed i should just stick to the prescribed meds and not...

Hi desperate2Bslim. Thanks for the welcome! Yes, as i am slowly learning about, diabetics do need to watch their diet more stringently i guess. Its not only about losing weight but avoiding sugars which may spike their blood sugar level, or eating enough to keep the blood sugar level high...

Hello everyone, I have just joined the forum today, after reading through many posts, especially in this Diabetes thread. I would like to get some views from anyone who has had diabetes for a long time, but first a little background info about me. I am currently living in Hong Kong and have...

Hello there! Just wanted to say hello. I have been dieting for 2 months now, since i was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Going well so far but i hope i can get some continuing inspiration from existing members. I am currently living in Hong Kong but i am a British expat ( and maybe coming back...
