Hi Karen, welcome to the forum 🙂 Do tell us a little about yourself! How long have you been diagnosed and how are things going for you?
 
Hi Karen and welcome to the Forum
 
Hi, Thanks for your welcomes.

I was told in January 2008 after a routine blood test that I have type 2 diabetes. It was a shock to say the least & one I chose to ignore for over a year hoping it would go away. Well it hasn't! It has taken until now for me to accept it & do something about it. I see my diabetic nurse every 6 months & have bloods taken. I joined slimming world in January & have lost 23 lbs so far. Had my 6 month check on Monday & was delighted (as was Sue my diabetic nurse) to see all my bloods were ok as was my bp. I have been given another 6 months reprieve from taking meds as I really don't want to start down that road just yet.
 
Excellent Karen - glad to hear you started taking it seriously, and got such positive results! Keep up the good work - if you need to have a rant or a moan, feel free to vent!🙂
 
Good work there Karen on the weight loss and all the postive blood results on Mondayx
 
Nope, all rants, vents and general hissy fits are welcome here! Thank goodness.🙂
Hi Karen and welcome, you seem to be doing really well, hurrah for you!
