Welcome coffeesnob! 🙂 No problems at all with your coffee unless you take heaps of sugar in it and like it with cakes and biscuits!

Have you been diagnosed long and how you doing with control?

Hi coffeesnob and welcome. Great avatar

 

[coffeesnob]

been t2 for about 20 years - I started with an under active thyroid post pregnancy and at the same time became a wheelchair user I put on weight before i was diagnosed. then more weight with starting insulin. I have been carb counting for months now and have not lost an ounce (meanwhile my OH also t2 has lost 5.5stone😡) so now i am on 1200 cals and 90 carbs. or at least i am meant to be this past month has been so difficult i have almost given up. the coffee does come without without the sweet favours but can i resist the cappuccino which in my mug has 100mls of lovely frothy milk😉

Welcome, it is so hard when however little you are eating it makes no difference to your weight. Could it be due to other medication you are taking?

Hi grannylorraine - most definitely I take morphine for my disability and linagliptin but mostly i think it is my disability being a wheelchair user means it is so difficult to excercise. i do swim twice a week
