Feeling Well ...

[Baldric]

... chuffed today, despite being quite fit for my age (65) I have been a Type 2 Diabetic for last 7 years or so. Had a Clinic appointment earlier today, Blood Tests etc were done a week or so back.
Everything that was 'average' 6 months ago are now really low, including cholesterol.
I know you can't cure Diabetes but it's now at the point where I can just get on with things as long as I'm careful with Diet and Exercise.
Well pleased

Baldric, in late 2009 and weighing in at over 18.5 stone, i had a mild heart attack and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I changed my diet, did daily indoor exercises and, whenever possible, walked everywhere instead of using public transport. Together with 4 Metformin per day, the weight began to fall away and the Metformin was reduced to 3, then 2, 1 and now, 0. I lost somewhere around 6 stone up until 2012 but have put about 2/3 of that back on. However, my cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, etc are all 'bob on' and have been for my last 4 'tests' over a 2 year period. I am still classed as a diabetic - but take nothing for it - which is good as it affords me the annual eye test. Keep up with the sensible diet and exercise.

Well done Balders. If you can do it, why can't a certain female politician ha ha!

Ken, well done Mate, that's really good.

Hw, no incentive, she's far too important in her own opinion.

That is good news indeed Baldric. Just don't get complacent and lose your focus. What a relief and load off your mind it must have been. :))

[Baldric]

It was Togo, got used to the routine now and just stick with it.

[Togo]

Obviously suiting you Baldric, so as you say stick with it.
