I am new to this forum and was diagnosed as a diabetic type 2 two years ago. The information given at the beginning was overwhelming and I worked for the NHS! Everything it seems is down to weight, exercise and the messages differ and are confusing. An example of this is I bought a book about what I could eat as a diabetic recently and if not depressed before was nearly suicidal by the end of it. Luckily a friend made me see the funnier side of it.
I know I am overweight and have lost 10kgs but I do fluctuate but where as before I was diagnosed could have shrugged it off now get concerned about the impact on health.
Ploughing on and will continue to lose weight albeit at my own pace
Struggle is real
