November 3rd, 2023 I was diagnosed as type 2 diabetic. I had ignored warnings, stayed overweight, manyana mentality. The shock was unbelievable and tbh I was terrified. So I start out with a determination I didn't know I had and lost 3stone in 5 months. Nothing since but no gains either.
Today I kick-start my weight loss by signing up to walk 100 miles in 40 days to raise funds for the homeless. 2.5 miles a day. (Social Bite, look them up if you want to know more).
I am following a lower carb diet, no more than 100 cards daily which combined with the walking should keep my blood glucose in check. Need to lose 2 stone and hope to achieve this by Christmas.
Any tips especially from Type 2 diabetics greatly appreciated.
