Hi Mary, you are more than welcome to stay!🙂 Great news that you are not diabetic! It's clear that you recognise the dangers though, and want to start following a healthier (diabetes-friendly!) diet and lifestyle. I'm sure that this will give you much more energy and hopefully relieves those symptoms you have been getting. Please ask any questions you may have, and hopefully we can help you to steer a path away from the possibility of diabetes in the future🙂

Thanks all, much appreciate it xx
I have walked more today then I have for months, to docs n back 3/4 mile? Then got off bus a stop before, on to neighboruing estate to the shop and around another 3/4 mile home, am shattered now lol. MK is not a very walk friendly place, too many redways and underpasses, don't trust them, elderly woman alone is easy target.

welcome mary and i am glad the diagnoises didnt come! ... however you are very welcome anyway to stick around the forum and take support in loosing that wieght if you need it. maybe you should try and keep to a T2 type diet low gi no sugar diet anyway... some people suggest low carb but find what suits you...up your exercise asmuch as you can ... you can justdo 5 mins more each day or week can have amazing results .
Sorry i was quite amused by your statement that MK is not pedestrian friendly as my Dad was involved with its early design and how it was to be a people friendly place !!! lots of parksand easy access...the main thing was for cycling can you do that ??? or is it just as bad as walking around in MK ??

Hiya, I hate the redways and underpasses, I don't feel safe on or under them, even in daylight. I am used to walking to where I want on proper pavements from A to B. I used to walk everywhere when I lived at home in midlands. I would find it nigh on impossible to walk to work from where I live.
No I can't ride a bike lol. xxxxxxxxxx
