    Hi, if you wish you can add me, my diary is open it may give you a few ideas.
    (This is my story so far)

    It was only 3 years ago that to be able to walk without pain was impossible 20 yards and then the pain set in, I would have to stop and rest then try to go a little further before the pain set in.
    I was suffering from (diabetes 2) I am a male I was 17 Stone 3 Lbs aged 67 years and the fear of amputation and losing my sight became very real!
    I live alone in an upstairs flat I knew if something bad happened I would have to move out of my flat which I love, and my prospects of a good life were going to go down the drain! It frightened me so much I changed my lifestyle, and after doing quite a lot of research I decided to go on a low carb high-fat diet without exercise because of the pain.
    Well move on 3 years I lost 6 stone diabetes has reversed, I am no longer on medication and at the age of 70, I walk along the promenade 1.2 miles every morning without any pain weather permitting breathing in the sea air. If not I have a mini exercise bike so I do 30 minutes on that while watching the telly lol I really hope this story will encourage whoever is feeling a bit down you can beat diabetes! or just lose weight Effort yes, without doubt, rewards wonderful. Good Luck PS 71 now and feeling great.PPS I have put back on a stone so 12st 7lbs so my mission is to lose that stone.
