    Sugar Tax

    I get the impression this is working to a limited degree but cannot help but feel it needs extending. We have a cafe selling milk shakes near us and a dedicated milk shake bar. Their concoctions though seem mighty unhealthy. Start with milk, added ice cream, add a Mars bar, whisk and top with...

    Looking for advice! ☹️

    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...

    Fatty Areas - Lipohypertrohy

    Hey! I've had diabetes for over 10 years now. I've always injected in my stomach which now looks awful! I feel like I look like I have a baby bump! I've been doing some research and I'm pretty sure it's lipohypertrophy - fatty lumps under the skin from not rotating my injection sites enough...

    Confused with yogurts

    Hi. I'm newly diagnosed. Cried at first as I'd previously had a negative result in july 2015 but now type 2. Been following a healthy eating plan and lost 9lbs since diagnosis 2.5 weeks ago. What I'm finding very confusing are yoghurts. Ive noticed that a lot of low fat ones claim 0.0 or 0.1%...
