Okay, So my journey begins after having extremely bad news. I can honestly say that I havent always been the size I am I dieted back when I was a teen and lost a substantial amount of weight but wasnt enough I back-tracked and settled down and the weight began to pile on. I went from having lost weight to gained the weight I lost to then gaining. I was still following a dietary plan but was committed to going to groups. Fast forward to 2016 I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, After having take tablets and test my Blood Sugar and getting my head round all the information given I saw my blood sugar spike and fall bouncing between walls. How I havent been in a coma I dont know. First blood sugar test was 42.7mmol so (42.7 x 18 = 768.6mg/dL) which for people who are diabetic know is highly dangerous, the average person should be between 5 - 8mmol or 90 - 144mg/dL. Over the last 2 years I have been Dieting and taking tablets / injections every day to bring that down and I am also in need of dietary change hence this website. I was having to many Carbs in my last diet so need to keep it checked and monitored. I have also regular UTI's and Kidney Stone issues all related to the above...... Big Changes and hopefully lots of support.

    Hey how are you? I'm so inspired by your post. I know what it's like to struggle with weight although I'm not diabetic. And i know plenty about taking tablets to stay healthy. I'd be glad to add you as a friend so that we can support each other.
