Hi, I've just been diagnosed with type 2. At first I didn't feel like it would bother me. I knew I had to make some serious changes and I was ready for that but today I just feel like I don't even know where to start and that I want to bury my head in the sand and ignore everything. How many...

I’ve recently started a 12 week challenge where I’ve signed up to the gym and now go about 3/4 times a week, I’m quite fit anyway but this is still quite an increase in exercise for me. If I have a good run around from planned evening exercise (I play rugby and football) I usually have no fast...

Hello everyone. I don’t know if anyone here help or be a ray of light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve been upping my exercise and have really started watching what I eat over the last 2 years. I’ve noticed weight loss and I’ve definitely toned up, but I still have quite obvious fat around my...

Newly diagnosed 21/08/2018. Been back cycling since 11 July 2018. I'm sick of weighing myself only to see I've not lost any weight at all (not gained any either!). Since being diagnosed I have made changes to diet and exercise. Taking on board what it means if I don't! However, confused as...

I have just started going to the gym and obviously know that I need to reducing bonus and basal as a result, but how do I know by how much? I am going to the gym and working out intensely for 1 hr-1hr 1/2 ... I changed my basal today from 17 to 15u and have only had a tiny bit of bolus and...

Anyone experienced this before? One day my BG after eating was 9 something and I went to gym joining body pump class for 1 hour and it went down to 5.9. But today my BG is just 6.2 before exercise and i ate some lowcarb bread (5g carb) with peanut butter (these things normally raise my bg up to...

All - Newly diagnosed as type 1 in the past four week. A complete shock to the system and all been a blur (literally for a while as I lost my vision for a week or so) with such high blood glucose levels over the past 3 months. So far doing ok but back into life and work this week, so will be an...

Hi Everyone, I just wondered if anyone else found the whole pre-pregnancy diet /losing weight ready for a safe pregnancy challenging? Becoming a mum is high on my priority list and I'm currently on a pre-pregnancy clinic as we're getting married in August! :D However, I'm finding it sooo...

Apologies if this is already a thread but I couldn't find anything. Since I started doing a lot of climbing I've lost most of my sub-cut fat except for a wee pouch on my tummy and my bum. I can't use my bum because it just gets ripped out too easily. I occasionally use my hips but the...

Hi I have the fitness bug. I never thought I’d get it but I love working out since starting HIIT work outs. They keep me motivated and I finish the workout feeling like I’ve achieved and pushed myself. I have noticed my sugars rise a fair bit . I’m not sure how to prevent this happening. How...

I've been recently diagnosed with type 2 and I've taken to exercises in the gym, although I used to walk 1 hour a day for 5 days. I only started cheching my blood sugar with a meter. I found that after exercise, if I check my blood sugar, it goes really high (between 8.5 and 9). Can someone...

Researchers at the University of Birmingham would like to recruit men with type 2 diabetes to take part in a study looking whether there is any conflict in performing two different exercise modes (i.e. lifting weight and cycling) in one session (termed concurrent training). The aim of this study...

I've recently started exercising a lot more that I used to and have taken up cycling and zumba. The trouble is that every time i exercise i experience really late onset of low sugar levels and despite running them higher during exercise can't seem to avoid this. The most recent example was last...
